Forms in Space

John Storrs was an American sculptor who pioneered geometric abstraction in three dimensions during the early twentieth century. Working primarily in marble, bronze, and steel, he developed a distinctive architectural vocabulary of stacked and cantilevered forms that anticipated modernist sculpture by decades. His monumental public commissions and smaller abstract works share a commitment to severe geometric order and verticality. Storrs maintained a studio practice across multiple decades and continents, establishing himself as a foundational figure in the transition from figurative to abstract sculpture.
