The patina on this garden sculpture, tho utilized previously in numerous other Kevin Robb sculptures, exemplifies the shadows that are cast throughout the sculpture garden. On a bright lit night the definitions of shapes are minimal but the spots of brightness, shadows of darkness, and everything in between dance throughout the gardens.
The Mayor’s Public Art Initiative provided the means for the city to acquire a large, stainless steel sculpture created by Kevin. Sure enough, the Mayor forwarded an e-mail from a gentleman that was distraught over “that ugly thing you call art”. We e-mailed him back, introducing ourselves and invited him to the studio to meet Kevin and see what is involved in a monumental sculpture. He thanked us, but never came by.
You have won over a grumpy old man in the neighborhood”. This was truly the best compliment we have ever received on one of Kevin’s public art sculptures!
Animal Rescue League of Pittsburgh Acquires 2 Kevin Robb Sculptures (November, 2016)
The newly constructed Animal Rescue League of Pittsburgh has been gifted 2 stainless steel sculptures by a very generous collector. The ARL was formed in 1909 to care for and find permanent, loving homes for animals.
The Art Gallery at DIA features Kevin’s monumental sculptures through large photographic, wall murals along with his smaller more intimate works throughout the gallery.
This new facility will have a 12 foot stainless steel sculpture in the front of the building greeting guests and the second sculpture is being placed towards the rear entrance. This location is fun since the sculpture can be seen inside, looking down a long hallway.
It’s my honor to give this year’s award to a business that has been in Wheat Ridge for quite a while and has continually helped guide the look and feel of our community.
