Collection, Smithsonian American Art Museum, Gift of Container Corporation of America. NEW YORK, NY .- Luise Clayborn Kaish (1925–2013) was a pioneer. A key figure in the New York art scene of the late 20th century, her multidisciplinary practice and process-oriented work spanned a range of mediums, materials, techniques, and themes. The strength and breadth of her work—monumental sculptures in bronze, oil paintings, watercolors, lithographs, collage—and the prestigious awards and fellowships she received set her apart as an early female leader in the visual arts. The publication Luise Kaish: An American Art Legacy celebrates her immense talent, highly individual point of view, far-reaching influence, pursuit of the sublime, and passion for life.
