Over a fifty-year career, Robert Grosvenor has produced a body of
work that is at once solidly physical and conceptual, muscular and
fluid. Grosvenor frequently uses industrial materials and found
objects as he experiments with texture and scale, resulting in
sculptures that reveal a handmade quality and subtle vein of humor.
In 2017, the Renaissance Society presented an exhibition of the
sculptor’s untitled work from 1989 to 1990. Re-contextualized
within a spare architectural installation, this assemblage of
materials and found objects eludes interpretation at the same time
as it asserts its form and construction. Such nuances, combined
with its ambiguous scale, evoke what critic John Yau has suggested
is the labor of an “anonymous worker.” Grosvenor has made
significant contributions as a sculptor over the past fifty years,
but relatively few books have been published about his work. This
monograph documents the Renaissance Society show and also features
new scholarship considering Grosvenor’s work with a broad scope.
The text includes contributions by Yves-Alain Bois, Bruce Hainley,
Susan Howe, John Yau, and Renaissance Society executive director
and chief curator Solveig Øvstebø.
