| Robert Kushner was born in Pasadena, California and studied at the University of California at San Diego where he sharpened his interest in the decorative arts into a life project. On a trip to Turkey, Iran, and Afghanistan in 1974, Kushner recognized, he told Edward Gomez in Art in America in 2005, that in ancient Persia "the greatest minds had been making decoration." After that trip, Kushner moved to New York, and became one of the founders of what was called the pattern and decoration movement. In 1980 Kushner was included in the Venice Biennale. In 1984 he had a solo show of paintings on paper at the Whitney Museum of American Art. Robert Kushner's work is held in many museum collections around the world, including the Whitney Museum of American Art and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; the National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC; the Tate Collection, London; the Ufizzi Gallery, Florence; and the Kitakyushu Museum of Art, Japan. Kushner is represented by DC Moore Gallery in New York. He lives and works in New York. | ||||||||
