About City Sculpture

City Sculpture: Robert Sestok is a public art collection of seventeen welded steel sculptures by Detroit artist Robert Sestok.

Sestok has welded steel for more than fifty years, alongside a practice in painting and multimedia. He works largely in scrap, salvage and recycled material drawn from the yards, foundries and streets of Detroit. He came up as part of the Cass Corridor movement, a generation of artists working in that neighborhood in the 1960s and 70s, whose deconstructivist methods drew on the gritty, raw character of the city at that time.

City Sculpture is a nonprofit organization founded on a conviction that ambitious art belongs within a neighborhood, encountered freely and without ceremony. Admission is open to all.

City Sculpture was generously supported by Gretchen and Ethan Davidson.
