Richard Deutsch (born 1953) is an American sculptor who works primarily in the Minimalist and Expressionist genres.〔 Although his work ranges from small table-top pieces to multi-story sculptures, Deutsch "is well-known for his large-scale architectural and environmental projects."〔〔 ==Life and career== Deutsch was born in Los Angeles, California, in 1953.〔("Richard Deutsch." ''Art Interview.'' Issue #007. ) Accessed 2011-04-07.〕〔"Lowe Enterprises Unveils 'Hulls' at 500 Terry Francois." Press release. Lowe Enterprises. April 22, 2008.〕 His grandparents emigrated to the United States from Russia in the first decade of the 20th century.〔 His mother worked for the Board of Directors of the American Civil Liberties Union.〔 Deutsch received a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of California, Santa Cruz in 1976.〔〔 He originally worked only in ceramics, and was influenced by Bizen ware (a type of very hard, reddish Japanese ceramic sculpture and pottery).〔 The first solo exhibition of his work occurred in Seattle, Washington, in 1978.〔 In 1981, his work was part of the "American Porcelain" exhibit at the Renwick Gallery at the Smithsonian Institution.〔Conroy, Sarah Booth. "'American Procelain': A Look at What's New In an Ancient Craft." ''Washington Post.'' November 9, 1980.〕 (His contribution, "Equinox," is now part of the museum's permanent collection.〔("Equinox." Collections. Smithsonian American Art Museum and Renwick Gallery. No date. ) Accessed 2011-04-07.〕) After several years of exhibiting on the West Coast and making larger and larger sculptures, Deutsch decided in the mid-1980s to work in other materials (such as bronze, concrete, granite, plaster, stainless steel, and terrazzo) and begin creating much larger artworks designed for public spaces.〔〔〔 In 2000, Deutsch collaborated with choreographer Liss Fain on her dance piece "Quarry."〔Amirrezvani, Anita. "Internet Enhances Dance Piece." ''San Jose Mercury News.'' September 22, 2000.〕 Real-time images of Deutsch at work on a sculpture ("Seven Stones," a granite piece) were transmitted via the Internet and projects onto a scrim and four background panels while six dancers improvised movement (which was intended to make them appear to be interacting with the Deutsch).〔〔Dixon, Steve. ''Digital Performance: A History of New Media in Theater, Dance, Performance Art, and Installation.'' Cambridge, Mass.: MIT Press, 2007, p. 425.〕 Technical difficulties marred the performance.〔Amirrezvani, Anita. "Technical Difficulties Plague Liss fain's Brave New Work." ''San Jose Mercury News.'' September 30, 2000.〕 Deutsch lives in Davenport, California.〔〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Richard Deutsch」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
