| Summary: | "Karen LaMonte is a leading figure among a generation of American artists using glass in large-scale sculptural work that exemplifies technical achievement coupled with artistic quality ... whose work reflects a sophisticated American probing into social and gender issues ... LaMonte began using the dress as a sculptural form and metaphorical symbol ... life-sized dresses ... which ... project ideals of appearance and wealth promoted by haute couture, while questioning the psychological and social implications of the way we dress ... While glass is LaMonte's primary medium, she frequently incorporates both photography and printmaking processes in her work, innovatively exploring different media to elaborate her conceptual ideas"--Http://www.museumofglass.org/s01_exhibition28.jsp "Karen LaMonte first went to Prague on a Fulbright in 1999, to explore the possibility of using monumental cast glass in her work. She received the Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation Biennial Award in 2001 for her sculptural works in cast glass. Her work is in the permanent collections of many institutions, including the de Young Museum of Fine Arts in San Francisco, the National Gallery of Australia in Canberra, and The Corning Museum of Glass."--BOOK JACKET |
