About
Why this artist matters now
Peter Agostini (1913-1993) was a major American sculptor, credited as a Pop Art pioneer of the 1960s, along with Andy Warhol and Claes Oldenburg. Associated with several New York School artists, including Franz Kline, Jackson Pollock, Arshile Gorky, Willem de Kooning and David Smith, Agostini did not classify himself as Pop. He also "never abandoned the traditional subjects of sculpture like the human head and figure, and particularly the horse."
