Red Grooms (American, b.1937) is a painter, printmaker, and sculptor associated with the Pop Art movement, and best known for his site-specific installations of cities. Born in Nashville, TN, he studied at the Art Institute of Chicago before moving to New York to attend the New School for Social Research. Grooms' early work focused on happenings, such as The Burning Building (1959), which were performed on the Lower East Side. In the late 1960s, Grooms began constructing what he called sculpto-pictoramas, three-dimensional constructions of intricate urban settings. His City of Chicago (1967), for example, depicts the city's most famous buildings and historical figures such as Abraham Lincoln and Al Capone. Similarly, Ruckus Manhattan (1975) was a cartoon-like construction of the city’s subways and landmarks, and invited the viewer to step into the immersive environment. Grooms has also worked with a wide variety of printmaking techniques, such as woodblock printing, stencils, and etchings. He produced several three-dimensional portraits made of sculpted paper and lithographs, including one of Willem de Kooning (American/Dutch, 1904-1997) in 1987. Grooms' work is included in several museum collections, including the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York, the Fort Worth Art Museum in Texas, and the Moderna Museet in Stockholm. He lives and works in New York.Timeline1937Born in Nashville, USA1955Attended School of the Art Institute of Chicago, USA1956Attended George Peabody College for Teachers, Nashville, USA1956Attended New School for Social Research, New York, USA1957Attended Hans Hoffman School of Fine Arts, Provincetown, USA1970California PS Grant for Film, New York, USA1982Cornucopia, commissioned by the Institute of Contemporary Art, Philadelphia, USA1983Recipient, Artists of the Year Award, 3rd Annual Arts Education Convention1986Recipient, Governor’s Award in the Arts, State of Tennessee1986Recipient, National Arts Club Award, Gold Medal Honor1990Recipient, Founders Medal, Pennsylvania Academy, Philadelphia, USA1996Some Like it Hot and Imaike Broadway commissioned by the City of Nagoya, Nagoya, Japan1996Recipient, Art Masters Award, Artist Award: Sculpture1998Tennessee Fox Trot Carousel, permanent outdoor installation, Nashville, USA2000Elected a member of the American Academy of Arts & Letters2003Recipient, Lifetime Achievement Award, National Academy of Design2004Piragüas de Frambuesa/Strawberry Ice Cones, monumental sculpture commissioned for Coamo, Puerto RicoLives and works in New York, USA
