Curator Talk: Robert Klippel

CURATOR TALK: ROBERT KLIPPEL

Regarded as one of Australia’s most significant postwar sculptors, Robert Klippel aimed to create an art that expressed the defining aspects of twentieth-century life. While best known for his sculpture born from the fusion of mechanical and organic forms, Klippel also worked extensively with drawing media, producing approximately five thousand works on paper in his lifetime.

Celebrating the artist room Robert Klippel: A Language of Forms at The Ian Potter Centre: NGV Australia, NGV Curatorial Project Officer, Eva Christoff discusses the evolution of Robert Klippel’s art practice, and the interrelationship between his sculptures and works on paper.

Featuring works on paper and sculptures spanning from 1947 to 1976, the display showcases how Klippel’s drawings and collages served as testing grounds for technical innovation and imaginative experimentation.
