liza lou
Whoa. I just wrote about American artist Liza Lou a few months ago, but then this! Her installation, titled Kitchen (1991- 1996), is now on display at The Whitney in New York. Beads. So, so, so many tiny glass beads… more than 30 million if you happen to be counting!? No wonder this project took her from 1991 until 1996. I’m going to New York in March and, yes, this will be my first stop {did you see the chips!? LOVE}. Kitchen is part of an exhibit titled, Making Knowing: Craft in Art, 1950–2019, which runs until January 2021. GO!
Is it life sized? So beautiful.
Just saw this in person last week, so mind-bogglingly stunning and fun. Think I would need to spend hours there to appreciate even half the details. And there’s a lovely beaded inscription on the side of the kitchen counter to see as well…
I love this – so intricate. Wow! Just wow!
