Kiki Smith 1993 (W. 27)
This monumental etching and aquatint by Kiki Smith demonstrates the artist's characteristic exploration of the human body and vulnerability through printmaking. Created in 1993, the work showcases Smith's mastery of traditional intaglio techniques, with the aquatint's tonal gradations and etching's precise linework rendered on the delicate Japanese Echizen Kouzo-Kizuki paper. The full sheet presentation emphasizes the scale and immersive quality of Smith's figurative imagery, which often draws from anatomical, biological, and mythological sources to challenge conventional representations of the body.
