Hunt, a descendant of enslaved people who in the last half of the twentieth century rose to become the world’s preeminent African American abstract sculptor, died on December 16 at his home in Chicago. Hunt created sculptures that appeared almost weightless despite the heft of the materials from which they were made, evoking ascent, escape, and freedom. His monumental works grace public spaces around the globe. Visit his official site to see quotes about Richard from some titans of the Art world.
