About Robert Cozzolino

Headshot of Bob Cozzolino

Robert Cozzolino is an independent curator, art historian, and critic based in Minneapolis. Dr. Cozzolino is especially drawn to artists who aspire to visually express the intangible, and considers himself a curator of fluid time, not bound to imposed labels and bins. First trained as a musician, he has played free-improvised music as a percussionist for over 30 years. He has curated over 40 exhibitions, including Reimagining Native/American Art (2023-24), Supernatural America: The Paranormal in American Art (2021-22), World War I and American Art (2016), Peter Blume: Nature and Metamorphosis (2014), David Lynch: The Unified Field (2014), and With Friends: Six Magic Realists 1940-1965 (2005), among many others.
