Robert Adams (sculptor)
English sculptor and designer (1917–1984) / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Robert Adams (5 October 1917 – 5 April 1984) was an English sculptor and designer.[1] Whilst not widely known outside of artistic circles, he was nonetheless regarded as one of the foremost sculptors of his generation. In a critical review of a retrospective mounted by the Gimpel Fils gallery in London in 1993, Brian Glasser of Time Out magazine described Adams as "the neglected genius of post-war British sculpture",[2] a sentiment echoed by Tim Hilton in the Sunday Independent,[3] who ranked Adams' work above that of his contemporaries, Ken Armitage, Reg Butler, Lynn Chadwick and Bernard Meadows.
