We are pleased to announce Fort Wayne Museum of Art’s acquisition of Robert Schefman’s painting “Grasslands”! Congratulations, Robert!
🔸Grasslands, 2026, oil on canvas, 56 x 30 inches.
Robert Schefman is a sculptor and painter. After achieving an MFA in sculpture at the University of Iowa, he moved to New York City, setting up a studio and producing large scale minimalist steel sculpture. Gradually adding painting to his studio practice, Schefman has continued to make illusionist narrative work the focus of his practice. Fascinated with connecting threads in the social fabric, he uses the illusionist format to address the unchanging reality of sight.
A native of Detroit, Schefman earned a BFA from Michigan State University, and an MFA from the University of Iowa. Awards include the Kresge Artist Fellowship, Pollack-Krasner Foundation, The Bernard Maas Prize, ArtServe Michigan, The Arts Foundation of Michigan, and the University of Iowa. He is currently Professor Emeritus at the College for Creative Studies in Detroit and is represented by the David Klein Gallery.
