This book traces a journey through the evolving phases of Micheline Klagsbrun’s work, illuminating how each phase transforms into the next. 
Inspired by the “seamless song” of Ovid, whose Metamorphoses served as an early influence, Klagsbrun’s initial work explores the fluid boundaries between animate and inanimate, human and natural, earthly and superhuman realms. Reimagined mythological narratives of passion, punishment, desire and despair gradually give way to a more abstract rendering of transformation itself. Narrative becomes submerged within fluid and translucent color and form, capturing the instability and motion inherent in change.
Not a traditional catalog, this book is a poetic and flowing illumination of a continuing journey.

Contributing writers include Dorothy Kosinski, Director Emerita of the Phillips Collection, Norman Kleeblatt, former Chief Curator of the Jewish Museum NYC, and Aneta Georgievska-Shine, Professor of Art History, UMd and the Smithsonian.

 

A selection of Micheline Klagsbrun's sculpture and works on paper are on view following her June duo exhibition with Nancy B. Frank.
