Kiki Smith's "Moth" (1996) exemplifies her innovative approach to printmaking, blending traditional techniques with contemporary materials to explore themes of transformation, fragility, and the interconnectedness of life.

The work measures 29 x 21 inches and is part of a limited edition of 42 prints, with this particular piece being number 31. It was printed and published by Universal Limited Art Editions (ULAE), West Islip, New York, and bears the publisher's blindstamp.

"Moth" has been featured in several prominent exhibitions, reflecting its significance in Kiki Smith's oeuvre. Notably, it was included in the Museum of Modern Art's (MoMA) exhibition "Kiki Smith: Prints, Books & Things", which ran from December 5, 2003, to March 8, 2004. This exhibition highlighted Smith's innovative use of printmaking and her exploration of themes such as the body, nature, and the cosmos. The work is also part of MoMA's permanent collection, underscoring its importance in the context of contemporary art.

Additionally, "Moth" has been exhibited at the Portland Art Museum, where it was part of the museum's collection. The piece was listed in the museum's records, indicating its inclusion in their exhibitions and its role in their representation of contemporary American art.

This work is accompanied by a Gallery Certificate of Authenticity, ensuring its provenance and confirming its place as a significant example of Kiki Smith's contribution to contemporary printmaking.

Presentation

Excerpts from the introduction by Mr Glenn D. Lowry, director of MoMA, New York, to the book on the exhibition of prints by Kiki Smith at the Museum of Modern Art, 2003/2004

"Kiki Smith has emerged as one of the most unique and innovative voices in American art of the past 20 years and this exhibition continues a dialogue that MoMA has been pursuing with Kiki Smith since 1986 with our first acquisition of a portfolio of engravings, followed by 2 exhibitions in 1990 and 1995 and now in 2004 the first solo exhibition devoted to his engraving work"

At the artenostrum gallery we are pleased to present 2 lithographs from this exhibition (including constellations, which has a copy in the museum's collections) and a work produced since
