◄ Overview
Rebecca Warren
Totem (d.)
No artist working today communicates the sheer excitement of materiality more than Rebecca Warren. Though the British sculptor has explored several media, she is best known for her works in clay, which may (as here) serve as the basis for hand-painted bronze. Her baroque forms often seem caught in the act of finding themselves, at some undefined point between figuration and abstraction. Though only two feet high – modest by her standards – this example encapsulates Warren’s familiar, always thrilling, jubilance.
