Robert Rigot was born in Buxy, France on September 14th, 1929. He grew up in a family of stonecutters, and his talents led to his early admission to the Beaux-Arts de Paris. In 1954 he received the Prix de Rome for a sculpture of a mythological figure. He was a boarding student at the Villa Medici from 1955 to 1959, where he took an interest in other materials used for sculptures, particularly bronze and glass. He began to work with welding equipment, collaborating with multiple architects to put together the Hommage à Eiffel in Dijon. In 1966 he became an artistic counselor to glass giant Baccarat, a position he held until 1996. He was awarded the Grand Prize from the Council of Europe for his crystal works in 1990, and in his later years he was also a corresponding member of the Institut de France. Rigot died in Chalon-sur-Saône on June 1st, 2023.
