Cristin Tierney Gallery in New York and Abattoir Gallery in Cleveland are showing large-scale paintings and drawings made of thread by Audra Skuodas, an Lithuanian-born artist. Skuodas’ works, mixing figuration and abstraction, have received more attention since she died in 2019, being acquired and exhibited in museums in Ohio, including the Cleveland Museum of Art, according to the galleries.
The gallerists said their aim in presenting Skuadas “is to open her work up to an international audience and to demonstrate that alternative narratives are not only plausible but an essential part of a non-canonical approach to the study, appreciation, and historicizing of the arts.”
