Clifford Ross Biography

Clifford Ross is one of the most popular and richest Sculptor who was born on October 15, 1952 in New York, United States. American Photographer, artist, and sculptor who designed Harmonium Mountain Series, the Hurricane Series, Mountain Series and Harmonium Mountain Series.

The J. Paul Getty Museum showcased his work.

Between 1974-1979, Ross’s painting and sculpture work was entirely abstract. He determined that the only way forward was to find his own way into abstraction with a proper base in realism like the Abstract Expressionists and Color Field artists whom he admired. Ross stopped exhibiting for four years, studying figurative painting and sculpture at the National Academy of Design, and then continued on his own. By 1987, he was producing paintings that were tied to landscape imagery, but with a high degree of physical materiality and abstraction. In order to explore the landscapes that served as inspiration for his painting and sculptural works, Ross often took photographic studies, at times even using them as collaged elements to create imaginary scenes. Eventually, Ross’s use of photography took over and by the mid-1990s he began to produce his first serious works in the medium.

Born in New York City, Ross earned a Bachelor of Arts in Art and Art History from Yale University in 1974, and attended the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture in 1973. After his college years, his painting was influenced by Abstract Expressionism and the Color Field School, which included his aunt, Helen Frankenthaler. In 1980, he broke off his relationship with Clement Greenberg and many of the artists around him, with the exception of his aunt, with whom he maintained a close relationship throughout her life. Following his early career in painting and sculpture, Ross began his photographic work in 1995. A major milestone in his work is the Hurricane series, begun in 1996. The black and white images in the series depict large-scale ocean waves shot by Ross while in the tumultuous surf, often up to his chest, and tethered to an assistant on land.

His father was a philanthropist, investor and investor. He got married Betsy Finkle Ross.

Ross’s engagement with wood and photography began while developing the General Services Administration commission to create artwork for the U.S. General Federal Courthouse in Austin. Although he ultimately executed a large-scale stained-glass wall, he continued to develop a method to print on wood for seven years, initially printing in his studio on thin veneers. Throughout the process, including hand-selecting trees in the Midwest and developing a deep sensitivity to the wood grain, their physicality transformed the works into something beyond photography. Known now as Wood Prints, the first large scale work, Sopris Wall I, was created in 2015 for MASS MoCA, executed on ninety 4′ x 8′ panels and measured 24′ x 114′.
