About
Why this artist matters now
Claire Falkenstein created large-scale abstract sculptures in welded metal and cast glass, often sited in public space, alongside paintings, prints, and jewelry that extended her investigation of open forms and transparency. Working across multiple mediums with equal inventiveness, she developed a distinctive formal language based on interlocking planes and voids rather than mass. Her practice spanned seven decades and established her as one of the most prolific experimental sculptors of the American 20th century.
