Timeline

2002

Fumio Yoshimura (吉村 二三夫, Yoshimura Fumio, 1926 – July 23, 2002) was a Japanese and American sculptor. He was known for his wooden replicas of everyday objects such as plants and machines.

1986

In New York he taught himself to work wood with various knives, chisels and drills and developed a virtuoso technique. He started with forms of plants and vegetables. He used white unpainted basswood, which gave a ghostly pallor to his sculptures of everyday objects such as typewriters, sewing machines, bicycles, or a hot-dog stand. His style is often associated with hyperrealism, but he has described his works as embodying the "ghost" of objects. Objects used for human activity were often the subject of his art, but he never depicted humans. "Three Bicycles" was the central work in an exhibition at the Museum of Arts and Design (MAD) in New York City in 1986.

1981

In 1981 Yoshimura was artist in residence at the Hood Museum of Art at Dartmouth College, where he then taught sculpture as an adjunct professor until 1993. Works by Fumio Yoshimura are in the collections of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, and the Hood Museum.
