James Rosati

James Rosati (1911 in Washington, Pennsylvania 1911 – 1988 in New York City) was an American abstract sculptor. He is best known for creating an outdoor sculpture in New York: a stainless steel Ideogram.

Life[edit]

Born near Pittsburgh, Rosati moved to New York in 1944, where he befriended fellow sculptor Phillip Pavia. He was a charter member of the Eighth Street Club (the Club) and the New York School of abstract expressionists. Rosati was among the participants in the 9th Street Art Exhibition and the subsequent Stable Gallery shows. He met and became friends with painters Willem de Kooning and Franz Kline, and sculptor David Smith. He was awarded the Mr and Mrs Frank G. Logan Art Institute Prize for sculpture in 1962 and a John Simon Guggenheim Fellowship in 1964. A 1969 show at Brandeis University lifted his career to new heights. He had other solo exhibitions and was in numerous group shows.

Rosati is perhaps best known for his sculptures in stone from the 1960s, and the 1972 stainless steel Ideogram.^[1] that stood over 23-foot (7.0 m) tall on the plaza between Towers 1 and 2 of the World Trade Center in New York City. Rosati created many monumental pieces of sculpture which are located in the United States and around the world.

After his death in 1988, he was interred at Immaculate Conception Cemetery in Washington, Pennsylvania.^[2]
