Kiki Smith, Photo by Stephen Klein, Anthony d’Offay Gallery (London), Folded Card, 1993. Size: 6.25 x 8 in. Available for purchase
The holiday season is a time to reach out to friends. Most people are content to send greeting cards created by companies like Hallmark, but artist Kiki Smith has for many years reconnected with friends by sending photographs of her own art. Gallery 98 has recently obtained ten of these photographs dating from 1997 to 2016. All are signed by Smith.
Smith is known for the spontaneity and diversity of her work. She likes to say she merely reacts to what is around her, and that for her there is no difference between living and making art. Smith’s early work centered around body imagery, and often projected feelings of angst and discomfort. Since the 1990s, she has increasingly drawn her inspiration from nature, with the result that her work has become more mystical and spiritual. Appropriately, the holiday photographs date from this later period. All the photos show details of artworks created by Smith.
