Description

Sculpture by Arnold Zimmerman, Vapor 1 (26.5" high, 1992) and Bladder Tongue and Tangle (23.75" high, 1994); Exhibition image, Metropolitan Museum of Art Collection. The image illustrates a key transitional body of work in Arnold Zimmerman's career in the early 1990s: his experimentations with more anthropomorphic figures in totem and tabletop formats. These fantastical sculptures combined an awkward corporeality with elements of mechanical purpose (wheels, chains, axles, fountains), creating an unsettling, hybrid presence, as in these pieces on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art exhibition, "Shapes From Out of Nowhere." This work was publicly exhibited in prominent exhibitions, discussed in major art journals and daily press publications and acquired by a major museum.

Purpose of use

The image serves an informational and educational purpose as the primary means of illustrating a key transitional body of work in Arnold Zimmerman's career in the early 1990s when he began experimenting with more anthropomorphic figures in totem and tabletop formats. These somewhat fantastical sculptures were described as "strange cleavages of machine and flesh" that bridged his monumental carvings and later narrative work. They employed subtle color, thick crawling layers of glaze, and tangles of manipulated clay conveying intimacy, individuality, and vulnerable, organic immediacy and explored themes involving creative energy, blocked or harnessed. Because the article is about an artist and his work, the omission of the image would significantly limit a reader's understanding and ability to understand this key stage and body of work, which brought Zimmerman ongoing recognition through exhibitions, coverage by major critics and publications, and museum acquisitions. Zimmerman's work of this type and this series is discussed in the article and by critics cited in the article.

Replaceable?
