About
Why this artist matters now
Steven Urry was an American sculptor whose practice engaged abstraction through direct carving and cast forms during the postwar period. Working primarily in stone, bronze, and wood, he developed a vocabulary of simplified, organic volumes that responded to both modernist reduction and natural material properties. His work demonstrates a sustained investigation into the relationship between sculptural form and spatial presence, balancing geometric clarity with tactile surface variation.
