James Rosati

b. 1911, Washington, Pennsylvania - d. 1988, New York City, New York
James Rosati was an American sculptor who worked with wood, bronze, and marble, before focusing his attention on fabricated metals like zinc, stainless steel, and aluminum. He began his career making figurative artworks—artworks that resemble people or animals—but through the 1950s and 1960s began experimenting with sculptures that were not tied to representation. He became well known for his geometric sculptural vocabulary, which took on monumental proportions in the latter half of his career, exemplified by Heroic Shorepoints I and his stainless steel Ideogram, which stood in the plaza of the World Trade Center in New York until it was destroyed on September 11, 2001.
