Harold Tovish (July 31, 1921 – January 4, 2008) was an American sculptor who worked in bronze, wood, and synthetic media.[1][2] He was famous for exacting standards, and even refused to complete many of the sculptures he began.[3] Tovish focused on the human form as the primary vehicle for exploring metaphysical existence.[4]
