Viola Frey: Artist's Mind / Studio / World

Text by Cynthia de Bos, Viola Frey, Nancy Lim, Jenelle Porter, Jodi Throckmorton.

Viola Frey: Artist's Mind / Studio / World

An expansive exploration of Frey's wide-ranging artistic practice, from vivid, pictorial pastels to her beloved larger-than-life sculptures

In the late 1980s, American artist Viola Frey (1933–2004) began a series of drawings she titled Artist’s Mind/Studio/World. Although she is best known for her large-scale figurative sculptures in clay, it is these pastels on paper that inspired this first monograph on Frey’s extraordinary work. Spanning more than 50 years, Frey’s art making crisscrossed myriad subjects, mediums and forms. Taken together, the Artist’s Mind/Studio/World drawings speak to this breadth, clarifying her devotion to line, color and scale, and demonstrating the ways she seamlessly transitioned from three dimensions to two, and from the intimate to the monumental.
Extensively illustrated with recent discoveries from the Viola Frey Archives—including newspaper clippings, correspondence, slides and photographs—and containing major new critical texts alongside an illustrated chronology, Artist’s Mind/Studio/World explores the life and work of a vanguard multidisciplinary artist whose influence resonates with contemporary artists and audiences.


PRAISE AND REVIEWS

KQED

Sarah Hotchkiss

The picture that emerges in Viola Frey is similar to the one conjured by Porter’s description of her 1976 sculpture Self-Portrait with Figurines: 'a creation stew from which the artist … rises like a goddess.' In a swirl of objects, influences and historical conditions, Frey established herself as an artist with a singular, multifaceted style. Thankfully, unlike so many women of her generation, she also lived to receive the accolades she so deserved.
