Robert Klippel b. 19 June 1920

Also known as Robert Edward Klippel
  • Artist (Sculptor)
While Klippel is best known as a sculptor, he also worked in industrial designer. Klippel's interest in sculpture began during WW2 while making scale models of ships for the Navy for recognition training. This lead to his early monumental carved stone figures and Surrealist works of the 1940s. His later works, for which he is best known, were non-figurative assemblages.
