Sculptor Richard Hunt, who died last December, had a career that spanned roughly 70 years, with his work appearing in museums and public spaces across the country, and was the first African American sculptor to have a retrospective at MOMA. Block Club Chicago's Rachel Hinton talked to artists who were inspired by his extraordinary life and work. "I would walk past his monument[s] every day — it’s kind of like the pinnacle of what I wanted to be,” sculptor Faheem Majeed says. “Richard is who I wanted to be at a certain point in my life before I even met him.”
