Work
Robbin has had over 25 solo exhibitions of his painting and sculpture since his debut at the Whitney Museum of American Art in 1974, and has been included in over 100 group exhibitions in 12 countries.
He holds the patent for the application of Quasicrystal geometry to architecture, and has implemented this geometry for a large-scale architectural sculpture at the Danish Technical University in Kongens Lyngby, Denmark, as well as one for the city of Jacksonville, Florida.
Tony Robbin's third book, Shadows of Reality, The Fourth Dimension in Relativity, Cubism, and Modern Thought has been published by Yale University Press, in Spring 2006. He is also the author of the book Engineering a New Architecture, published by Yale University Press in 1996 and Fourfield: Computers, Art & the Fourth Dimension, published in 1992 by Bulfinch Press/Little, Brown & Company on the subject of mathematics and art. He has written 24 papers and articles, mostly for peer review publications, and lectured to professional organizations and university departments of art, physics, mathematics, computer science, architecture, and engineering in the United States, in Europe and Japan, including engineering society meetings in Atlanta, Copenhagen, Guilford, and Budapest.
Tony Robbin is a pioneer in the computer visualization of four-dimensional geometry. Since 1981, his realtime rotation programs of four-dimensional figures have been useful for obtaining an intuitive feel for four-dimensional space, and quasicrystal space. The original DOS and Microsoft Windows versions are available for free download from his website. An Android live-wallpaper hypercube, rotating in 4-space, is available for free at the Android market, or on his official website. (see external links below)
Covering forty years of his artwork, Tony Robbin's retrospective is at the Orlando Museum of Art until October 30, 2011. The companion book Tony Robbin, A Retrospective is distributed by Hudson Hills Press. (see external links below)

Famous quotes containing the word work:
““As for myself, I am simply Hop-Frog, the jester—and this is my last jest.”... The Work of vengeance was complete.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
“The truth of the thoughts that are here set forth seems to me unassailable and definitive. I therefore believe myself to have found, on all essential points, the final solution of the problems. And if I am not mistaken in this belief, then the second thing in which the value of this work consists is that it shows how little is achieved when these problems are solved.”
—Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951)
“This is the fundamental idea of culture, insofar as it sets but one task for each of us: to further the production of the philosopher, of the artist, and of the saint within us and outside us, and thereby to work at the consummation of nature.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
