Christopher Wilmarth (1943 – November 19, 1987) was an American artist, known for producing sculptures using primarily glass and steel.

Early life

[edit]

Christopher Wilmarth was born on June 11, 1943, in Sonoma, California. He was raised in Sonoma County and Palo Alto, California, before moving to New York City in the 1960s. He earned a B.F.A. from Cooper Union in 1966.[1]

Career

[edit]

Wilmarth was a professor of sculpture at Cooper Union and Columbia University.[2] Wilmarth arrived at glass as his preferred medium after moving to New York City, influenced by other minimalists, such as Donald Judd and Carl Andre, and the city scape.[3] As a material, glass was capable of capturing, reflecting, and refracting light to illusory and emotional effect.[3] His artistic practise was influenced by poetry and music, which can be seen through his choice of titles, as well as Romanticism and Modernists such as Henri Matisse and Constantin Brancusi.[3]

In 1973, Wilmarth began a series of sculptures titled Nine Clearings for a Standing Man. Each work consisted of a sheet of subtly bent steel behind a sheet of etched glass.[4]

In 1978, Wilmarth abandoned art dealer representation and established The Studio of the First Amendment, where he hosted his own exhibitions independently.[5]

Death

[edit]

On November 19, 1987, Wilmarth was found dead of an apparent suicide at his home in Red Hook, Brooklyn. He was 44.[6][7]

In 2001, Wilmarth's wife, Susan Wilmarth-Rabineau, donated her late husband's archive of work to the Harvard Art Museums.[8]

Public Collections

[edit]

Wilmarth’s sculptures and works on paper are held in a number of significant public collections and have been the subject of museum projects and scholarly catalogues. The Harvard Art Museums, among other institutions, hold materials from his archive; museum catalogues and the record of gallery exhibitions offer the principal routes for research. For primary-source study, researchers should consult the holdings and catalogues published by major institutions that have mounted his work.[21][22][23]
