Bay Area artist, Robert Hudson has been a primary force in the West Coast assemblage movement and is well known for his polychrome steel sculpture. Born in Salt Lake City and raised in Richland, Washington, Hudson moved to San Francisco in the late 1950s where he received his MFA from the San Francisco Art Institute.
The works of Robert Hudson are characterized by a riotously visual approach, as the artist carefully juxtaposes fabricated and found objects into pieces that burst with his signature wit.
