1990, brushed steel and copper alloy top, signed and dated "KISCH / 90" to the underside. 63 1/2 x 38 x 36 in. Born in 1941 in New York City to German immigrants, Kisch earned a BA from Sarah Lawerence and later married with two children. In the early 1960s, Kisch uprooted her family to enroll at Otis College of Art and Design, where she studied alongside Bas Jan Ader and Barry Le Va. Kisch joined an intimate circle of feminist and post-minimalist artists living and working in Venice Beach, CA. In 1973 she participated in the inaugural exhibition at Womanspace, Judy Chicago’s cooperative run feminist gallery, which later became the Women’s Building. Kisch’s career blossomed with landmark exhibitions alongside Bruce Nauman, Ed Ruscha, Kenneth Price and Richard Diebenkorn, impressive solo presentations in museums, and large public art commissions when she transitioned from painting to sculpture. Recent solo exhibitions of the artist's work include: 2022 As Above, So Is Below, Salon 94 Design, New York, NY; 2021 Design Miami, Salon 94 Design, Miami, FL; 2019 IMMORTAL FLOWERS, dieFirma, New York, NY; 2009 Immortal Flowers, Rosenbaum Contemporary, Boca Raton, FL; and 2008 Nagas Installations, San Angelo Museum of Fine Arts, San Angelo, TX.
