Gary Molitor (b. 1940) is an American ceramic sculptor and mixed-media artist associated with Northern California's experimental art movement of the 1960s. Born in Modesto, California, he studied at City College of San Francisco and earned his B.A. in 1963 and M.A. in 1965 from San Francisco State University. Working in ceramics, assemblage, drawing and photography, Molitor developed an interdisciplinary practice that challenged conventional distinctions between sculpture and other artistic media. His work was included in FUNK (1967), the landmark exhibition organized by Peter Selz at the University Art Museum, UC Berkeley, alongside UC Davis artists Robert Arneson, Roy De Forest and William T. Wiley. Molitor taught art at the University of California, Davis, from 1967 to 1969, participating directly in the university's pioneering artistic community. He subsequently taught at Sonoma State University and the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.
