Christa Maiwald Christa Maiwald began her career in New York as a video artist in the 1970s. She had solo exhibitions at most major video venues, including the Whitney Museum, Franklin Furnace and Anthology Film Archives, and received numerous grants, including two each from the National Endowment for the Arts and the New York State Council on the Arts. More recently she has turned to painting, sculpture and works on paper. Her latest series, represented by three of the works below, is titled East/West and uses Asian art in general and Japanese origami in particular as its primary influences. Like most of Maiwald's work, these pieces mix the obvious and the ineffable, the Pop and the painterly, the laugh and the leer. Her most recent solo shows have been at the Wainscott Gallery in East Hampton, NY, where the artist lives, and at the Florence Lynch Gallery in New York. |
