Kiki Smith (American, born Germany, 1954) is one of the most influential artists of her generation. Over twenty years ago, her sculpture reintroduced the figure as an important realm of artistic investigation and discovery.
Her provocative meditations on the human condition, the body, and the realms of myth, spirituality, and narrative have resulted in works of power and beauty. Kiki Smith presents a "gathering" (to use the artist's word) of the broad variety of media she has explored in her career, including sculpture in plaster, bronze, paper, glass, porcelain, and other materials, installations, prints, drawings, photographs, multiples, jewelry, artist's books, and film and video works.
Smith is also among the leading contemporary artists working in printmaking, a medium she began exploring in 1980 and has been engaged with consistently since 1990.
