Robert Lazzarini (born September 22, 1965 in Denville, New Jersey) is an American artist who lives and works in New York City.

Offering no ideal point of view and so compelling its viewers to walk around the work, Lazzarini's sculptures trace their lineage back to the 1960s, minimalism and to the introduction of phenomenology into the discourse of art.

Lazzarini's sculptures, in their adherence to what one might call a strict policy of material replication, open an inquiry into the nature or logic of artistic representation itself.

Andy Warhol's 32 Campbell Soup Cans, first exhibited at the Ferus Gallery in Los Angeles in 1962, are exemplary in this instance.

Following Warhol, but not in the Pop-vein, are figures such as Donald Judd, Sol LeWitt, and John Coplans, all of whom are important precedents for Lazzarini's work.

Though Lazzarini's sculptures court the matter-of-fact to a great extent, this does not mean that they do not bear undercurrents of an often darker thematic content.

Bathed in diffused fluorescent light, the shadows within the room heightened the works “image aspect” where “the walls of the gallery become a kind of uninflected visual field against which the form of each object is defined.”[3] The experience presented a new type of embodied viewing wherein “You feel the space around you begin to ripple, to bubble, to infold, as if it were becoming unstuck from the fixed coordinates of its three-dimensional extension.
