This two-part exhibition (In conjunction with Leslie Tonkonow Artworks + Projects) will be the internationally-known artist’s first solo gallery show in New York since 1999. Surveying more than forty years of formal and conceptual innovation in a range of mediums, it coincides with the publication of Michelle Stuart: Sculptural Objects – Journeys In & Out of the Studio by CHARTA, featuring essays by Lucy Lippard and the artist.
Michelle Stuart is recognized for pioneering the use of nontraditional, organic materials in art. Since the 1960s she has exhibited monumentally scaled works on paper, site-specific earth art, multimedia installations, and two- and three-dimensional objects, all reflecting her extraordinary lifelong curiosity and passion for the natural world and the cosmos.
