About this artwork

Since the 1980s, Jessica Stockholder has engaged in an ongoing dialogue about the possibilities of painting and the pictorial potential of sculpture with idiosyncratic pairings of found materials, architecture, and broad swaths of paint in vibrant colors. Called “the reigning queen of the found object”, Stockholder “gives a single bare light bulb a classic purity and a crumpled parasol the weight of withdrawal.” Her pioneering site-specific interventions and autonomous floor and wall pieces have been described as “paintings in space.”
