Claire Falkenstein: Time Elements

Claire Falkenstein: Time Elements explores the experimental yet enduring works of American artist Claire Falkenstein (1908-1997). Primarily known for her sculptures of tangled webs composed of metal, glass, wood, and cloth, Falkenstein was a prolific artist; she explored different materials in a variety of mediums including sculpture, painting, printmaking and as a jewelry maker. Transcending these mediums, her work fundamentally expresses movement in space through a specific vocabulary she developed and continually referenced throughout her career. Falkenstein forged an independent course in establishing herself as one of the few American female artists of her time who continued to push sculpture into the unknown.
