Richard Erdman (b. 1952, Princeton, New Jersey) is an American sculptor whose practice engages the enduring vitality of marble and bronze. His work is distinguished by a lyrical interplay of curves and contrasts, by a dialogue between geologic and human timescales, and by a gesture toward the transcendent power of natural phenomena. Educated at the University of Vermont—where he later received an Honorary Doctorate of Letters (2016)—Erdman has maintained studios in Williston, Vermont, and Carrara, Italy, for over four decades.
