About

Herbert Brooks Walker II, 1927-2018, American sculptor, creatively spanned the modern arts: from figurative to abstract, portraiture to monumental, and singular happenings.

He primarily worked with bronze and wire, but also created in clay, steel, aluminum, and a wide variety of mixed mediums.

His studies began at the Arts Student League with Harry Sternberg and Robert Hale, then continued at Yale School of Fine Arts (BFA) with Willem de Kooning and Josef Albers.

Originally from Brooklyn, he lived and worked in Caracas-Venezuela, Abadan-Iran, Fairlee-Vermont, and Verona-Italy.

The Walker Museum, created together with Joan Allen Walker, in Fairlee Vermont, exhibited a global collection of art and inspirational cultural artifacts acquired through their travels. His studio was part of museum tours. Elsewhere, he exhibited with as much restraint as was artistically possible.
