Terry Adkins (1953–2014) was an American sculptor, musician, filmmaker and printmaker who orchestrated installations and multisensory experiences. Born in Washington, D.C., and raised in Alexandria, Virginia, he studied printmaking before receiving an MFA in sculpture from the University of Kentucky. In 1986 he founded the Lone Wolf Recital Corps, a revolving collective whose "recitals" combined sculpture, music, video and performance. His one-person exhibitions include "Recital" at the Tang Teaching Museum at Skidmore College, "Infinity is Always Less Than One" at ICA Miami and "Resounding" at the Pulitzer Arts Foundation. He was included in the 2014 Whitney Biennial and the 2015 Venice Biennale. From 2000 until his death he was a professor at the University of Pennsylvania. His work is in the collections of MoMA, the Whitney, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Studio Museum in Harlem and Tate.
