Raffaella Cortese is proud to present Kiki Smith’s third solo exhibition at the gallery. The American artist first showed in Milan in 2001, presenting drawings on Nepalese paper together with several bronze sculptures. In 2004 Smith exhibited work at the gallery that focused mainly on graphic production, a technique employed throughout her oeuvre. By the Stream is an exhibition of photographs of great importance to the artist’s career.
Photography plays a key role in Smith’s artistic development. A broad examination of the natural world is evident in some of Smith’s earliest photographs. Smith’s photographs depicting natural history were exhibited at the Carnegie Museum of Art, Pittsburgh, in 1998 and the International Center of Photography in New York in 2001.
