}}Richard Deutsch (born 1953) is an American sculptor who works primarily in the Minimalist and Expressionist genres.[1] Although his work ranges from small table-top pieces to multi-story sculptures, Deutsch "is well-known for his large-scale architectural and environmental projects."[2][3]

Life and career

Deutsch was born in Los Angeles, California, in 1953.[1][2] His grandparents emigrated to the United States from Russia in the first decade of the 20th century.[1] His mother worked for the Board of Directors of the American Civil Liberties Union.[1]

Deutsch received a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of California, Santa Cruz in 1976.[1][2] He originally worked only in ceramics, and was influenced by Bizen ware (a type of very hard, reddish Japanese ceramic sculpture and pottery).[1] The first solo exhibition of his work occurred in Seattle, Washington, in 1978.[1] In 1981, his work was part of the "American Porcelain" exhibit at the Renwick Gallery at the Smithsonian Institution.[3] (His contribution, "Equinox," is now part of the museum's permanent collection.[4]) After several years of exhibiting on the West Coast and making larger and larger sculptures, Deutsch decided in the mid-1980s to work in other materials (such as bronze, concrete, granite, plaster, stainless steel, and terrazzo) and begin creating much larger artworks designed for public spaces.[1][2][16]

In 2000, Deutsch collaborated with choreographer Liss Fain on her dance piece "Quarry."[5] Real-time images of Deutsch at work on a sculpture ("Seven Stones," a {{convert|20|by|36|ft|m}} granite piece) were transmitted via the Internet and projects onto a scrim and four background panels while six dancers improvised movement (which was intended to make them appear to be interacting with the Deutsch).[5][6] Technical difficulties marred the performance.[7]

Deutsch lives in Davenport, California.[2][7]

Design philosophy

Deutsch has described his more recent work as an attempt to create an "artist-driven environment" in which the audience interacts with his art by seeing it, touching it, being able to stop and contemplate it, and move through it.[2][2] His public art is highly contextual, and he researches the history and setting of a site before beginning his work.[2] His sculpture is also often collaborative, as he works with architects, engineers, and landscape architects to ensure that his art fits with the site.[2]

Deutsch works at a number of studio/workshops in China, Italy, and the United States, and utilizes material from around the world.[2]

Noted works

The more notable of Deutsch's works include:

  • "Voyage," a wall-like sculpture created from massive ship propellers, installed at the City Center in Oakland, California.[8][5][9][10]
  • "Unity," a piece composed of several standing granite forms, also a City Center in Oakland, California.[5][9]
  • "Against the Day," a rock sculpture at The Collection at Chevy Chase, a two-building luxury retail shopping center and {{convert|9000|ft2|m2}} park in Chevy Chase, Maryland.[11]
  • "Axis," a sculpture of circular granite pieces set in a wooden groove at the entrance to the School of Engineering at Stanford University.[8][5]
  • "Etude," a piece at the entrance to the headquarters of Applied Materials in Santa Clara, California.[8][5][10][12]
  • A {{convert|70|ST|MT|adj=on}} granite "garden" of standing stones in a memorial garden at Congregation Shir Hadash in San Jose, California.[10][13]
  • "Hulls," two tall, lightweight, stone-like pieces which resemble sailboat sails in front of 500 Terry Francois in the Mission Bay neighborhood of San Francisco, California.[2] The piece was originally intended for the intersection of Main Street and Tiburon Boulevard in Tiburon, California, was never installed.[14][15]
  • "Legacy," a large granite sculpture in the courtyard of the Constitution Center office building in Washington, D.C.[16]
  • "Time Signature," a series of five stainless steel stacked circular forms in front of the Foundry Square office building complex in San Francisco.[8][17]
  • "Stacked Column," a black basalt structure (similar to interlocking Lincoln Logs) in the lobby of the Regent Bal Harbour hotel in Bal Harbour, Florida.[18]
  • "Water Story," a {{convert|5|ft|m}} high black granite "mountain" over which water flows along "riverbeds" to an "ocean" (pool) below, located in front of the California Science Center.[1]
  • "Harvest," consisting of bronze casts of farm implements welded together into a tower, which stands before the Oakland Museum of California.[1]

Awards and honors

Deutsch was a Visiting Artist in 1987 at the American Academy in Rome, and received a grant in 1984 from the National Endowment for the Arts.[1] In 2007, Santa Cruz County, California, named him County Artist of the Year.[19]
