A major new study and celebration of the career and legacy of the modernist sculptor, painter,
collagist and educator Luise Clayborn Kaish (1925-2013).
This is a major new study and celebration of the career and legacy of the modernist sculptor,
painter, collagist and educator Luise Clayborn Kaish (1925 – 2013). Kaish was a key figure in the
New York art scene of the late 20th century, whose multidisciplinary and process-oriented
practice contributed to various artistic discourses at the time. The strength and breadth of her
work, her influential role in education, and the prestigious awards she received in recognition of
her practice set her apart as an early female leader in the arts. She will be remembered for her
immense talent, highly individual point of view, pursuit of the sublime, keen execution, and
passion for life, which, despite the tides of changing tastes, will remain forever significant. This
volume brings together nearly of her works. Essays covering Kaish’s life and career, her artistic
practices, her lifelong interest in the spiritual and metaphysical, and her work as an educator are
followed by a main plate section, Illustrated Chronology and Exhibition History.
