About Pierre Granche

Lived 1948 – 1997 (aged 49). Pierre Granche was a Canadian sculptor.

Pierre Granche (; March 14, 1948 – September 30, 1997 ) was a French-Canadian sculptor. Having studied at the École des Beaux-Arts de Montréal and the Université de Vincennes in Paris, he taught in the art history department of the Université de Montréal for more than twenty years (1975–1997) until his death from lung cancer in Montreal.

32 fois passera, le dernier s'envolera, a collection of vertical glass screens with plant forms in aluminum, symbolising education, in the courtyard of the Pavillon J-A-de Sève, UQAM, Montreal; Lieu re-découvert, an environmental intervention of a variety of truncated pyramid shapes, Le Gardeur hospital, Repentigny, Quebec; Égalité / équivalence, a grouping of sculptures representing dogs, winged men, and gardens, Université Laval, Quebec City;
