Arlene Shechet: Girl Group

In a palette of blues, greens, pinks and purples, Shechets metal sculptures physically and conceptually expand her playful work with ceramics Published in conjunction with her exhibition of the same title, Girl Group brings together New Yorkborn and based artist Arlene Shechets (born 1951) recent work in wood, steel, ceramic, paper and bronze with six new monumental sculptures created for the expansive grounds of Storm King Art Center in New Windsor, New York. The exhibition centers on the translation of Shechets lyrical ceramics into the six robust, large-scale painted metal sculptures, an ambitious new body of work that expands upon the artists intuitive and handmade approach. Through her signature emphasis on process and improvisation, Shechet harnesses the expressive power of geometry, line, color and form in works displayed across Storm Kings hills, fields and galleries. Stunningly designed, this book features raw edges on boards with a flush trim, and captures Shechets practice through vibrant fabrication and installation photography, This book was published in conjunction with Storm King Art Center
