Darryl
Pottorf: A Perspective
March 10 - June 4, 2006
Born in 1952 in Cincinnati, Ohio, Darryl Pottorf grew up in Fort
Myers, Florida. A former studio assistant of Robert Rauschenberg,
Darryl Pottorf has been creating complex works for more than 30
years. Like Rauschenberg, Pottorf’s work combines elements
of various media, including sculpture, painting, and photography.
He is particularly noted for large-scale works completed on unusual
supports such as polylaminate, lexan, and aluminum. With each of
these media he employs a photo-transfer process and a collage aesthetic
that has come to characterize his oeuvre.
Pottorf has collaborated with Robert Rauschenberg on a series of
joint projects and exhibitions, and is additionally a practicing
architect. He designed Robert Rauschenberg’s home and studio
as well as his own, and, like Rauschenberg, he lives and works in
Captiva, Florida. His work is featured in the collections of the
Butler Institute of American Art, the National Gallery of Art, and
many others.
