Often situated in parks, plazas, and and other public spaces, Tom Otterness’s wry, playful sculptures of comedic, cartoon-like characters gently critique the ills of American society. His works suggest distinct character types ranging from blue-collar workers to police officers. The artist combines his characters in ways that elicit themes of class, race, sex, and capitalism—these pieces extend Otterness’s earlier career provocations, which more explicitly focused on violence and cruelty. Otterness has created numerous public commissions, including Life Underground (2004), a group of bronze figures situated in New York City’s 14th Street/Eighth Avenue subway station; and a decorative relief called The New World (1991), which was created for Los Angeles’s Edward R. Roybal Federal Building and Courthouse. His work belongs in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Guggenheim Museum, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, and the Museo Tamayo. In the late 1970s and early ’80s, Otterness was also a member of the New York artist collective Colab.
