Robert
Kipniss

b. 1931

“Every day I learn more about the constellations of feelings and thoughts I derive from the simple act of seeing. The life of an artist is about the art. I have lived my life as I dreamed of doing when I was a young man.”

Bio

Robert Kipniss is a distinguished American painter and printmaker. His work has been shown in solo exhibitions at galleries and museums worldwide since 1951. He is a Royal Academician (retired), an elected member of the National Academy of Design, New York, and holds two honorary doctorates.

His work is represented in the collections of numerous public institutions, including The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Art Institute of Chicago, The Whitney Museum of American Art, the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, and many others. 

He has created over 750 editions and is perhaps best known as one of the leading living practitioners of mezzotint. After working in various locations in New York City for over three decades, in 1989 he moved his studio to Ardsley-on-Hudson, New York. He now lives and works in Sharon, Connecticut.
