Kiki Smith: A Gathering

Kiki Smith: A Gathering, 1980 – 2005 is the first full-scale major museum presentation of Kiki Smith’s work over the past 25 years. Smith’s art explores the human condition, the body, mythology, and spirituality through a diverse array of materials and methods ranging from traditional craftwork to contemporary multimedia installations. The exhibition presents a “gathering,” as Smith describes it, of approximately 230 works in a broad variety of media, including sculpture in plaster, bronze, paper, glass, porcelain, and other materials; installations; prints, artist’s books, and other multiples; photographs; works on paper; and film and video projects.

Kiki Smith is organized by Siri Engberg, curator, Walker Art Center, Minneapolis, and is accompanied by a fully illustrated catalogue containing essays by Engberg, art historian Linda Nochlin, novelist Lynne Tillman, and mythologist Marina Warner. The catalogue also includes the first comprehensive illustrated chronology of Smith’s life and work and complete documentation on her career.

Kiki Smith: A Gathering, 1980–2005 is organized by Walker Art Center, Minneapolis, and is made possible by generous support from the Elizabeth A. Sackler Museum Educational Trust. Additional support is provided by Agnes Gund and Daniel Shapiro, the Barbara Lee Family Foundation, Lowry Hill Private Health Management, and Donna Miller.
