Ursula von Rydingsvard : Sculpture 1991 - 2009 includes a selection of the artist's most significant sculptures, including wall reliefs and monumental cedar works created from 1991 to 2009. Von Rydingsvard is best known for creating large-scale, often monumental sculpture from cedar beams, which she painstakingly cuts, assembles, glues, clamps, and laminates, finally rubbing powdered graphite into the work's textured, faceted surfaces. Her signature shapes are abstract, with references to things in the real world. Drawing on a range of sources, from the humble to the majestic, von Rydingsvard's work is recognized for its great psychological force and powerful physical presence. Von Rydingsvard's most enduring form is the bowl, which may appear as a shallow or towering form, and may alternately evoke nourishment, domesticity, the body, a simple enclosure, or a mountain, among other references.
Von Rydingsvard's sculpture is included in the permanent collections of over thirty museums, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Museum of Modern Art, and the Whitney Museum of American Art , New York; Walker Art Center , Minneapolis; Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art , Kansas City; High Museum of Art , Atlanta, and Detroit Institute of Arts. Major permanent commissions of her work are view at the Microsoft Corporation, Redmond, Washington; the Bloomberg Building, New York; and the Queens Family Courthouse, New York. Mad. Sq. Art: Ursula von Rydingsvard was presented at New Yorks Madison Square Park in 2006.
In addition to MOCA Cleveland and SculptureCenter, this exhibition is traveling to the DeCordova Sculpture Park and Museum and the Patricia and Phillip Frost Art Museum at Florida International University in Miami.
