Nora Lawrence, the executive director of Storm King Art Center in New York’s Hudson Valley, shares her favorite sculptures from the fair
Those fatigued by the proliferation of paintings at art fairs should tour one with Nora Lawrence. The executive director of Storm King Art Center, an open-air museum in New York’s Hudson Valley, has spent the past 13 years curating and commissioning outdoor sculptures and installations. Naturally, she is drawn to three-dimensional works when visiting Art Basel Miami Beach. She took The Art Newspaper on a spin around the convention centre to pick out her favourites.
Mary Ann Unger, Untitled (1997), Berry Campbell
“This work, made in clay with pigment, loosely resembles a heart and exemplifies the deeply intuitive and abstract way in which Unger worked. She’s definitely a feminist artist, sometimes placed alongside Louise Bourgeois and Lynda Benglis.”
