Collection: Chaim Gross

Chaim Gross (American 1904–1991) was an American sculptor and draftsman known for his dynamic depictions of the human figure, often in motion. Born in Austria-Hungary (now Ukraine), he immigrated to the United States in 1921 and studied at the Art Students League and Beaux-Arts Institute of Design in New York. Gross became renowned for his expressive wood carvings and bronze sculptures, frequently portraying acrobats, dancers, and family scenes. A master of both form and emotion, he was also a prolific draftsman and educator. His work is held in major museum collections, and his former studio in Greenwich Village now serves as the Gross Foundation and museum.
