Klara Kristalova Opens at SFMOMA

The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art presents the latest installment of the ongoing New Work series, which highlights the ceramic work of Tiago Carneiro da Cunha and Klara Kristalova, both artists who use the medium to create figurative sculptures that appear playful and humorous yet unsettling.

In October 2011, Lehmann Maupin Gallery will present Klara Kristalova's first solo exhibition at the gallery. A skilled and imaginative storyteller, Klara Kristalova's figurative ceramic sculptures are influenced by fairy tales, myths and old folk tales, and address themes of oppression, anxiety and the sub-conscious. Klara Kristalova's exhibition will be on view at Lehmann Maupin Gallery 27 October - 28 January 2012.
