Karen LaMonte is internationally regarded for her life-size, cast-glass sculptures of the human form. She crafts captivating Grecian robes, Japanese kimono, and evening gowns devoid of the wearer. LaMonte said, “I use the absent nude cloaked in transparent glass dresses to investigate the tension between humanism and eroticism, the physical and the ethereal, the body and the spirit.” The masterful technique to create the large glass sculptures is itself awe-inspiring. Art publisher Rizzoli just came out with the latest book on LaMonte’s extraordinary work with essays by leading scholars and critics. This is an artist talk you really should not miss!
