Patricia Cronin, Memorial to a Marriage, 2002 in bronze and marble.
Patricia Cronin: Bodies and Soul, Conner Gallery, Washington, DC , Febuary 4 - March 10
In July, this blog celebrated the marriage of New York artists Patricia Cronin and Deborah Kass, whose long-time commitment inspired Cronin's sculpture Memorial to a Marriage, 2002, permanantly installed in Woodlawn Cemetery in the Bronx. The marble mortuary sculpture was accomplish in death that which seemed - in 2002 - impossible in life.
Now the exhibition of the bronze version of this sculpture, on view at Conner Gallery in Washington, DC, celebrates the transition of this artwork from depicting a dream to immortalizing reality.
