Scott Burton

Scott Burton was an American sculptor and performance artist best known for his large-scale granite and bronze furniture sculptures.

Burton's work was aimed at blurring the boundaries between art and functional objects. He challenged the traditional notion of sculpture as an object to be admired from a distance, creating sculptures designed for audience interaction and use. His work often incorporated elements of furniture and architectural design, combining art with the practical aspects of everyday life.

Burton's approach to art was influenced by his interest in minimalism and the conceptual art movement. He believed that art should not be confined within the confines of galleries and museums, but should exist as part of the everyday environment. By integrating his sculptures into public spaces, Burton sought to change viewers' perception of both the artwork and the environment.
