JAMES GRASHOW (b. 1942, Brooklyn, New York) is a multifaceted artist best known for his intricate sculptures and immersive installations created from cardboard. Grashow is also an accomplished woodcut artist whose prints have appeared regularly in the New York Times and other periodicals throughout the United States. Grashow's translation of universal themes concerning man, nature, and mortality are reproduced in his works created from unconventional materials, which he elevated in his joyous, fantastical works. These materials are at the core of creativity for the artist who states, "Its very valuelessness liberates us. Boxes, tubes, sheets of corrugated board - everything that lives between the good stuff and garbage - becomes the perfect partner for play. Rescued from trash, it asks only, âWhat do you want me to be?'" Grashow was born in Brooklyn, New York in 1942. He received his BFA and MFA from the Pratt Institute in 1965. He was the recipient of a Fulbright Fellowship to Florence, Italy where he became inspired by the work of Bernini. Grashow has exhibited at the Whitney Museum of Art, New York; MoMA PS1, New York; and The Aldrich Museum of Contemporary Art, Connecticut, among others. His work is in several public collections including the Library of Congress, Washington, D.C; New York Public Library; and Roanake Museum of Fine Art, Virginia.
