About RJSE/ for transparency: SICK micro-grants are sponsored by The Robert J. Spring Endowment for Sculptors. Robert (Bob) Spring was my grandfather, who worked as the president of Modern Art Foundry for over 45 years. He took over operations from his father, who founded the lost wax bronze casting foundry in Astoria, Queens, in 1932. Bob was an iconic figure in the industry, working closely with artists such as Louise Bourgeois, Jacques Lipchitz, and Tracey Emin, among many others, to bring their creations to life. My father, Jeffrey Spring, now runs the foundry’s operations and began the Modern Art Foundry Foundation and Robert J. Spring Endowment in honor and celebration of Bob and his ambitious, larger-than-life personality, in addition to his commitment to serving artists and the world of casting. I (Olivia) now sit on the MAFF Board of Directors alongside my father, Jeffrey, Lani Tarozzi, Laura Spring, Mary Jo Bursig, and Matthew Bursig. Learn more at foundationmaf.org
