Polly Apfelbaum

Two works: (i-ii)

1989

Two vibrant, floor-based works by Polly Apfelbaum that exemplify her signature approach to color, pattern, and the dissolution of traditional painting conventions. Apfelbaum arranges richly hued, dyed fabric or synthetic materials in sprawling, seemingly casual configurations that blur the boundaries between painting, sculpture, and installation. Her practice celebrates abundance and repetition, inviting viewers to reconsider the relationships between craft, feminism, and the decorative arts.
