Judith Scott - Frieze Masters: Spotlight

11 Oct-15 Oct 2023

The Gallery of Everything
London W1U 7PS

Overview

Fabric artist Judith Scott commenced a decisive and rhythmic art practice at Oakland’s Creative Growth Art Center in 1987, after her twin sister rescued her from institutionalisation.

Self-taught and non-verbal, Scott’s soft sculptures were comprised of found materials, woven together with fabric, twine, cardboard, foam packing material and buttons. These physical explorations of tension and release range from small personal objects to large-scale totems.

Today they are held in important private and Museum collections worldwide, including The Museum of Modern Art in New York, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and the Brooklyn museum - which hosted a solo exhibition of her work in 2014.
