American Abstract Expressionist Bronze Dancers Sculpture, Robert Cook, 1963
About the Item
Entitled “Whirl”, a large bronze sculpture by Robert Cook, American (1921-2017) depicting a dancing couple captured in the moment of a whirl. Wonderful early work by the artist, dated 1963 with exhibition labels on the underside of the original hand hewn wooden base.
Robert Cook’s works are in the permanent collection of the Whitney Museum NYC, Victoria and Albert Museum, The British Museum and the Hirshhorn Collection.
Dynamic, with a great sense of fluid movement, excellent early example of Cook’s work.
Robert Cook
1921-2017
Cook was widely admired for having achieved the ability to capture fluid motion in bronze.
Born in Boston, he studied with the classical sculptor George Demetrios and later, with Marcel Gaumont at L’Academie des Beaux Arts, Paris. In 1948, he moved to Rome on a Fulbright Grant for more advanced study. Favorite subjects included figures in motion, musical milieus and the animal kingdom.
Cook worked in the “lost wax” process of casting bronze which allowed the creation of sculptures that were larger than had previously been possible. A number of very large public sculptures by the artist are on display in New York, Rome, Boston, Philadelphia, Australia and Saudi Arabia.
Excellent condition, good even patina.
