Sculpture
Peter Grippe was an American sculptor who worked primarily in bronze and stone, developing an abstract formal language rooted in organic and geological forms. Active from the 1940s onward, his work emerged within the postwar American modernist movement, emphasizing simplified volumes and tactile surfaces that suggest natural erosion and growth. His sculptures occupied a middle ground between figuration and pure abstraction, often monumental in scale yet intimate in material sensibility.
