Kiki Smith:
Her Home
TEMPORARILY OUT OF STOCK
Born in 1954 in Nuremberg, Germany, but raised in an artistic family in South Orange, New Jersey (her father was the American sculptor Tony Smith), Kiki Smith has always occupied herself with questions of the human body and the human condition. Unlike classical figurative sculpture, which hides the interior of the body, Smith's work often visualizes organs and bodily fluid, highlighting the body's fragility. Her work draws from myth and links the spirit, human, and animal worlds.Beautifully produced to include a selection of family photographs from the artist's childhood and ancestry, alongside generous documentation of her recent one-person exhibitions in Krefeld and Nuremberg, this volume sheds new light on one of the most influential American artists of her generation.
