Royden Rabinowitch, OC (born March 6, 1943) is a Canadian post-minimalist sculptor who exhibits internationally.
[3] He has shown widely in Europe including solo shows at Kunstmuseum, Bern; Wiener Secession, Vienna;[4] Gemeentemuseum, Den Haag;[5] Museum Sztuki, Lodz; Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam; and Musée d'art Moderne et Contemporain, Geneva,[6][7] among many others.
Because he saw the art scene as mostly compromised by the ethos of advertising, he largely retreated to Cambridge, only occasionally showing with curators such as Wiesław Borowski, Rudi Fuchs, Jan Hoet, and Harald Szeemann.
These constructions, listed chronologically, are: Judgment on the Keplerian Revolution (Furkapasshöhe, Swiss Alps),[8] Newton on Top of Aristotle (Sarabhai Retreat, Ahmedabad, India), Éloges de Fontenelle (Toronto Convention Centre),[9] Leibniz and Newton (Neue Nationalgalerie Platz, Berlin), Tyco and Jepp (Kornwestheim Bahnhof), Judgment of Newton's Principle of Inertia (John's Castle, Limerick), Galileo's Judgment on Ptolemy and Copernicus (WATARI-UM, Tokyo), Judgment on the Copernican Revolution (chosen by Berlin Mitte for Leipziger Platz), and Bell for Kepler (Sesquicentennial Plaza, Waterloo, Ontario).
In 2012, he was honored in Canada with a Governor General's Award for excellence in visual and media arts, which recognized his nearly-50-year career as a sculptor.
