Description

Sculpture by Betsy Kaufman, BLYP (diptych) (wool on needlepoint canvas, velvet, stuffing, 25" x 13" x 10", 2020–21). The image illustrates a key later-career phase in Betsy Kaufman's art in the 2020s when she turned from paintings and works on paper to needlepoint sculptures. These works took off formally from the modernist style of constructivism but pushed that movement's grids to their limits with soft forms that slipped, sagged, bulged and upended symmetries. The works referencing of the domestic (pillows, cushions) added a further disruptive feature of humor and irreverence. This body of work and individual piece were publicly exhibited in prominent exhibitions and discussed by critics in major art journals and daily press publications.

Purpose of use

The image serves an informational and educational purpose as the primary means of illustrating a key later-career phase in Betsy Kaufman's art in the 2020s: her needlepoint sculptural works which expanded her interests in form and color to also include volume and referenced pillows as a humorous device. Displayed on pedestals and platforms, these works of wool, canvas, velvet and stuffing drew upon formal analytical styles such as constructivism while also undermining modernist sculptural hierarchies such as the privileging of fine over applied arts or hard, rigid form over soft. Because the article is about an artist and her work, the omission of the image would significantly limit a reader's understanding and ability to understand this key later body of work and medium, which brought Kaufman later recognition through exhibitions and coverage by major critics and publications. Kaufman's work of this type and this series is discussed in the article and by critics cited in the article.
