Bortolami is pleased to present Barbara Kasten’s Figure/Chair, 1972-73, an exhibition based on a historical solo presentation of diazotype prints and mixed-media sculptures, first staged at the California College of Arts and Crafts (CCAC) in Oakland in 1973. On view will be a series of twenty-four digital archival pigment facsimiles of the original Figure/Chair diazotypes, alongside three of Kasten’s Seated Form fiber chair sculptures, created during her mentorship with renowned sculptor Magdalena Abakanowicz (1930-2017) in Poland in 1971-72.
