For the second presentation in Storm King’s recently inaugurated Tippet’s Field, Liz Glynn’s (American, b. 1981) Open House (2016) will be installed in a natural landscape for the first time. Glynn created the cast-concrete couches, footstools, armchairs, and arched window forms of Open House based on images of an opulent Gilded Age ballroom belonging to politician and financier William C. Whitney that was used just once a year by New York’s most distinguished social elite. An artist who uses sculpture and performance to explore the social and cultural history of objects, Glynn asks viewers to consider the continued resonance of that moment in American history.

Liz Glynn: Open House is organized by Adela Goldsmith, Assistant Curator. Liz Glynn: Open House was originally presented by Public Art Fund in New York City.

This exhibition is made possible with major support by Lipman Family Foundation and Jennifer Brorsen and Richard DeMartini.

This project is supported through a Market New York grant awarded by Empire State Development, and I LOVE NY, New York State’s Division of Tourism.
