In Drawing Sculpture, we see Carroll Dunham thinking about sculpture over the course of a year. Spurred by curiosity about the forms that he found himself doodling along the edges of a new group of paintings in 2023, Dunham began drawing fantasies of sculpture as a break from working on the paintings. The eighty drawings collected here offer intimate access to an artist’s process, tracing the emergence of a sculptural vocabulary as they explore spatial relationships, materials, and presentation for sculptures that don’t exist. A text by Dunham accompanies the drawings.
Carroll Dunham has developed an extensive oeuvre since the late 1970s in painting, drawing, and printmaking. His work has been the subject of numerous solo exhibitions, most recently a drawing retrospective at the Art Institute of Chicago (2026), and presented in group exhibitions at institutions in the United States and abroad. He lives and works in New York and Connecticut.
