Kay Kurt is perhaps more accurately described as a New Realist. She does not used mediated or advertising images like the Pop Artists nor photographs like the Photorealists.
Albertz Benda is pleased to present Kay Kurt: For All Her Innocent Airs, She Knew Exactly Where She Was Going on view January 12 to February 16, 2017. Kurt withdrew from the art world at the height of a fledgling career and has not shown in New York city since the 1980’s. For All Her Innocent Airs, She Knew Exactly Where She Was Going re-examines the oeuvre of an artist whose early career in New York was ended prematurely and whose work is included in several of the world’s premier institutional collections. Kurt’s first major large-scale painting entitled For All Their Innocent Airs, They Know Exactly Where They’re Going (1968) depicts an open box of candies in various shapes and pastel hues, which the artist chose based on the differing textures, colors, and lighting effects. The same year, Kurt began showing with the prestigious Kornblee Gallery in New York, where she would eventually have three solo shows. The hyper-realistic renderings of candy and chocolates that came quickly to define her work led critics and the public to understand Kurt within the framework of the then-prevailing Pop art movement. Affirming this, Kurt was included in John Russell and Suzi Gablik’s influential exhibition Pop Art Redefined at the Hayward Gallery in London in 1969.
