Lot 20
Alison Saar
Brierpatch Blues, 2014
Serigraph/Relief
39 × 20 in | 99.1 × 50.8 cm
Edition 5/60
Part of a limited edition set
Alison Saar’s assemblages combine traditional and found materials to explore the multiplicity of African diasporic experiences, especially for women. Female nudes are a recurring motif. Saar’s practice builds on that of her mother, artist Betye Saar, who earned renown for her own materially inventive, conceptually rich assemblages. The younger Saar’s sculptures, installations, and prints often use elements of African and Afro-Caribbean art to transform detritus such as tin ceiling panels, nails, shards of pottery, and glass into totemic pieces that evoke mythology and collective memory. Saar has received a Guggenheim Fellowship and a number of grants from the National Endowment for the Arts. Her work belongs in the collections of the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art, the Studio Museum in Harlem, and the Whitney Museum of American Art, among others.
