Richard Erdman and a New Collection of Marbles

In April, we are thrilled to share the arrival of a new group of marble sculptures by Richard Erdman. Most pieces are sized for indoor display, inviting intimate engagement with form, surface, and movement supply conveyed through the beauty of Carrera marble.

Erdman comes from a lineage of artists who dared to carve in stone, a path often taken by carvers who traveled to Carrara, Italy to study the trade and the traditions of stone work. Predecessors such as Jean Arp and Antoine Poncet made significant strides in defining abstraction in stone; Erdman has taken up the mantle, further exploring movement and paying tribute to the stone’s formation—shaped by the sea. We recognize him as one of today’s leading stone carvers.

This era’s scarcity of true stone sculptors, makes Erdman’s marble works stand out for their compelling presence and refined craft. Each piece speaks to a long lineage of practice while remaining eminently contemporary in its exploration of movement and form. We are excited to incorporate these marbles into our New York curation and for collectors to experience marble’s enduring voice.
