In memorium

BRUNO LAVERDIERE 1937-2022

University, Ohio State University, Claremont Graduate Schools, New York University, University of Georgia in Italy and, locally, Skidmore College and SUNY Adirondack.

He received Artist’s Fellowships from National Endowment for the Arts in 1976 and 1990, and New York Foundation for the Arts in 1987. He earned a three-month residency grant from La Napoule Art Foundation in France in 1991, and acted as resident director there from 1995 to 1996.

The introspection he celebrated as a monk influenced him throughout his life.

His art is included in private and public collections, including SUNY Adirondack’s Art Collection, The Hyde Collection, J. Patrick Lannan Collection, Everson Museum of Art and Columbus Museum of Art.

But his legacy extends beyond his impressive sculptures, into the ways he shaped his colleagues and students, and transformed us all through his larger-than-life presence and passion.
