Kiki Smith

One of the most influential American artists of her generation, Kiki Smith has spent four decades probing the experience and significance of the body, its knowledge and its limits. I always think the whole history of the world is in your body, Smith has said. Working on pieces both very small and monumental, using a huge variety of mediums associated with both the fine and decorative arts bronze, plaster, glass, porcelain, tapestry, paper and wax, to name a few Smith has remained anchored in her core explorations of the human condition and the natural world.
