GRAY Gallery Presents Four Decades of Magdalena Abakanowicz's Sculpture
GRAY gallery is staging 'Next is our skin', an exhibition of works by Polish sculptor and fiber artist Magdalena Abakanowicz (1930-2017). The show spans four decades, from the 1960s to the 1990s, tracing her material evolution and inquiry into the human condition. Early works like 'Szara' (1965) use sisal and horse hair, while later pieces shift to burlap and bronze, reflecting her response to political oppression under Nazi occupation and Soviet control.
