Richard Deutsch

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.

[3][8] 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][3] His public art is highly contextual, and he researches the history and setting of a site before beginning his work.

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