Robert Barry (b. 1936 USA) is an American conceptual artist, celebrated for his innovative use of invisible media and abstract forms. A graduate of Hunter College, Barry studied under influential artists like William Baziotes, which shaped his unique approach to art. His work transcends the physical appearance of objects, focusing instead on what lies beyond the visible.

His art often includes unconventional materials such as carrier waves from radio stations or inert gases contained in various vessels, pushing the boundaries of traditional media.
