“Born in 1938 in Salinas, California, Robert Duran went on to study at the San Francisco School of Fine Arts (now the San Francisco Art Institute), and, in 1961, move to New York City, where he lived and worked alongside a cohort of downtown artists now credited with pioneering Minimalism. Among the first held at the storied Park Place and Bykert galleries, Duran's early exhibitions featured geometric, meticulously reductive sculptures made from industrial materials. By the turn of the 1970s the artist had shifted his primary focus to painting and watercolor. Up until his death in 2005, Doran pushed the boundaries of his form. Robert Duran at the New Jersey State Museum comprises paintings and works on paper made between the late-1960s and the 1990s, when the artist continued to innovate while supporting his family in Hillsdale, New Jersey.”
