Kay WalkingStick, Havasu Revisited, 1996/2009
Hales is delighted to announce that Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art have acquired Havasu Revisited (1996/2009) and Night Sailing in the Pleiades (1980) by Kay WalkingStick.
-
From the mid-1970s WalkingStick shifted away from previous figuration towards abstraction, which coincided with her burgeoning interest into Native American histories and her own heritage. In this critical period of work, WalkingStick is highly attuned to the expressive qualities of colour drawn from the Native American experience, especially those that reflect feelings of loss and tragedy.
