About the Item
Linda Stein, Open and Lift Out 65 - American Feminist Contemporary Chair Black Green Sculpture
Linda Stein has been addressing the theme of Power/Vulnerability for more than five decades. Her series Chairs, begun in 1978, are mixed-media assemblages that include symbolic elements. For example, Bowed Pole 66 and Pole Chairs 116 each incorporate a pole on which a ruler may grab hold while on a throne, much like a scepter. The rope used in Myth 100 alludes to bondage.
Masculinity/Femininity has also been of continuous interest to Stein as her androgynous works erase sexual boundaries. Leaning Couple 63 implies two merging figures. Skeletal Format 67 reflects Stein’s lifelong interest in anatomy, rooted in her early studies at the Art Students League with Robert Beverly Hale.
Sometimes Stein’s chairs are whimsical, as in Brush Swivel 64, which incorporates supplies used in the process of making art. Open and Lift Out 65 reflects Stein’s struggle with her sexuality and her identity as an artist. Its lucite forms and photographed windows and doors represent her striving to stretch beyond her immediate world.
Stein's works are in more than 30 museum permanent collections, including Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, Georgia Museum of Art, and Ringling Museum of Art in the US; Victoria Gallery
Museum and Manchester Art Gallery in the UK; Espoo Museum of Modern Art in Finland; and Konstmuseet i Skövde in Sweden.

Throughout her artistic career, Linda Stein's work has addressed issues of persecution and protection, focusing on oppression of the “other” through the lens of anti-bullying and social justice. As result of running for an entire day from the falling Twin Towers in the Ground Zero area of Manhattan, her previously-abstract work after 9/11 became figurative, armor-like, and she realized that she was creating visual and visceral symbols of protection, androgynous sentinel-like figures to stand guard against the foe. Her work often incorporates a family of pop-culture and religious icons like Wonder Woman, Princess Mononoke, Lisbeth Salander, Lady Gaga, Storm and Nausicaa, that start conversations about issues of power and vulnerability. Her works are in more than 25 museum permanent collections, including Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, Georgia Museum of Art, and Ringling Museum of Art in the US; Victoria Gallery
Museum and Manchester Art Gallery in the UK; Konstmuseet i Skövde in Sweden; and Espoo Museum of Modern Art in Sweden. More can be viewed on her website: https://www.lindastein.com/series
