Artist Biography

Peter Voulkos began working in bronze in 1960 with Don Haskin & Harold Paris at the "Garbanzo Works" foundry. Through the years all of the public commissions that Peter received were cast in bronze. Voulkos would continue working predominantly in bronze until 1968 when he exhibited with the Quay Gallery. In 1986 he decided to cast his ceramic works in bronze. Over the years Voulkos would continue to select his most important pieces for casting. This will be the first comprehensive survey of Bronzes by Peter Voulkos in San Francisco, California.
