Robert Therrien

Robert Therrien (American, b.1947), a sculptor and draftsman, was born in Chicago, IL, and raised in San Francisco, CA. He moved south to study at the University of Southern California, where he earned his MFA degree. Originally, Therrien sculpted with ordinary objects, such as doors, chairs, plates, coffins, and jugs, but he later began to experiment with wood, bronze, copper, and other materials. By the 1990s, he was also focusing on the scale of objects.
