Kay WalkingStick | In the Balance: Painting and Sculpture, 1965 - 1985 | The Whitney Museum of American Art

Hales is thrilled to announce the inclusion of Kay WalkingStick in In the Balance: Between Painting and Sculpture, 1965-1985 at the Whitney Museum of American Art, through 5 March 2023.

 

In the Balance: Between Painting and Sculpture, 1965-1985 brings together artworks from the Whitney's collection that cross boundaries and upset conventions. Regardless of whether they pour across or sit on the floor, the sculptures included here explore painting's domain through investigations of color, surface, and optical perception. The paintings, conversely, engage with sculptural concerns by taking up ideas long associated with three-dimensional art, such as balance and objecthood.

 

By combining elements of painting and sculpture, these works exist beyond established limits of what artists can do and upset the balance of preexisting ideas of what art can be.
