Strong-Cuevas
Strong-Cuevas SCULPTURE, 2015
This superbly produced retrospective spans the artist’s work from early career to most recent pieces. Strong-Cuevas carves stone as well as models in wax sculpture that is then cast in bronze, stainless steel, and aluminum. Many pieces involve the human head; their planes and shapes resonate back to Egyptian and Mayan cultures.
ABOUT STRONG-CUEVAS
Strong-Cuevas's work deals with philosophical, psychological, and cosmic concepts. She began her work in sculpture in the 1960s, working under John Hovannes at the Art Students’ League of New York, and was exhibited early on by Alexander Iolas, the gallerist who gave Andy Warhol his first solo show in 1952.
Born in Paris, Strong-Cuevas lived and worked in New York from the 1960s until her death in 2023. Her work features in the permanent collections of the Bruce Museum, Heckscher Museum, Guild Hall Museum, Grounds for Sculpture, Kykuit, the Rockefeller Estate, and the Smithsonian-affiliated Long Island Museum.
