As Above, So is Below

My functional/art is a manifestation of balancing my interior world with my exterior one. Trained as a sculptor, I strive for harmony through dissonance. My work has always been the playground in which I try to unify all parts of myself. Working direct, fusing expression, I work the metal. – Gloria Kisch, 1990, Art et Industrie

Salon 94 Design presents functional sculpture, totemic mobiles/bells and floral wall works by the late Gloria Kisch (b. 1941 – d. 2014). Over a prolific career spanning five decades in three artworld hotbeds— Venice, CA, SoHo and The Hamptons, NY—Kisch developed a delightful yet rigorous body of work encompassing early minimalist paintings on canvas, large scale public art installations, and later floral sculptures, mobiles and furniture works – for which she is mostly known.
