Philip Pavia (March 16, 1911 – April 13, 2005) was an internationally exhibited American painter and sculptor most closely associated with the abstract expressionist movement.[1]

Born in Bridgeport, Connecticut, Pavia began his art studies at Yale but then transferred to the Arts Student League.[2] in 1948 Pavia founded "The Club", an organization dedicated to engaging in a discourse on Modern art.[3]

Pavia's sculpture the "Ides of March" (after his birthday) stood in front of the New York Hilton for roughly twenty five years, from 1963 to 1988.[4] Pavia's work is in the permanent collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.[5]

He died at the New York University Medical Center in 2005 at the age of 94.[6]
