Richard Erdman (born May 20, 1952) is an American artist living and working in Williston, Vermont, and Carrara, Italy.
Primarily working in marble and bronze abstract sculpture, Erdman's prolific body of work ranges from intimately sized maquettes to the largest sculpture ever carved from a single block of travertine (Passage, in the collection of the Donald M.
Kendall Sculpture Gardens).
His works belong to collections in 52 countries across 6 continents, including the United Nations, Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, Princeton University, the Rockefeller Collection, and many others.
Erdman specializes in collaborating with esteemed architectural firms for custom commissions, and has partnered with Antonio Citterio, Richard Meier & Partners, Enzo Enea, and Whipple Russell, among others.
Erdman's family moved to Dorset, Vermont, when he was a child, where he grew up at the foothills of the oldest marble quarries in the U.S.
These early experiences with stone and nature greatly influenced his life and work.
In his youth, Erdman was a two-time NCAA All-American skier at the University of Vermont.
Erdman is the grandson of Charles R.
Erdman Jr., former mayor of Princeton.
