Isa Genzken - Matthew D. Gaskins

Isa Genzken (b. 1948) is one of Germany's most prominent artists. She is best known for her architectural sculptures that combine a Minimal aesthetic with the bright colours and synthetic materials of Modernist architecture. Her hybrid, colourful mini-skyscrapers combine mirrored sheets, fluorescent plastic, glass and concrete. She first began exhibiting in the 1970s and has exhibited at The Renaissance Society in Chicago (1989) and Documenta 7 (1982), 9 (1992) and 11 (2002) in Kassel, Germany, among many other prestigious venues.
