About the Item

This powerful, undated bronze titled 'Samurai' was created by influential American sculptor and art educator Peter Agostini (1913-1993). Virtually self taught, Agostini used skills learned working as a mold and model maker for the WPA during the Great Depression to create fluid works in plaster and bronze.. Exploring a wide range of forms and styles he saw no difference between representation and abstraction. He taught drawing and sculpture at Columbia University, the University of North Carolina, Parsons School of Design and the New York Studio School where he often worked from the model alongside his students. Agostini received a Guggenheim Foundation Fellowship in 1964. His works are in the permanent collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Museum of Modern Art, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden and the Walker Art Center.
