Robert Cottingham

Robert Cottingham's representations of urban signage celebrate the iconography of American cities. His closely-cropped, super realistic images of movie marquees and neon signs leave us enthralled with the formal qualities embedded in everyday landscapes. They also speak to the omnipresence and potency of language, revealing the words hidden within the captivating veneers of our daily routines. The compositional strength, graphic intensity, and bravura draftsmanship of Cottingham's paintings and drawings are particularly effective in printed media, and his prints have been recognized repeatedly in national exhibitions.

Born in Brooklyn, New York in 1935, Robert Cottingham studied advertising and graphic design at Brooklyn's Pratt Institute. In 1972, he began working at Landfall Press, where he has since produced numerous editions. Solo exhibitions of his prints include a traveling retrospective organized by the Springfield Art Museum, Missouri in 1986, and a solo exhibition at the Smithsonian's American Art Museum.
