Isa Genzken Retrospective

Visit this website from the Museum of Modern Art in New York City (MoMA) for a crash course on Isa Genzken (German, b. 1948), who "is arguably one of the most important and influential female artists of the past thirty years." Genzken is primarily a sculptor working with found materials to create assemblage sculptures, but the exhibition encompasses the variety of work she has created in different media, between 1974 and 2012, including paintings, photographs, collages, drawings, artist's books, films, and public sculptures. The website provides a chronology of Genzken's life and work, an interactive map of her activities in New York City, and a comprehensive, illustrated list of the works in the exhibition, many accompanied by text or audio. Work is arranged partially thematically and partially by date. For example, Gallery 9: 2003–2012, includes Genzken's Ground Zero series of pieces proposed as an alternate, human scale set of buildings for the site of the 2001 terrorist attacks as well as other work from the period that was not part of that series. For more personal insight, watch Interviews, a 22-minute video that records the answers of gallery owners, art collectors, artists, museum curators, and people in the street who were asked "Who is Isa Genzken?"
