Chromogenic print, mounted on cardboard, signed, dated in pencil on the lower mount. - Image : 32 x 48 cm - Sheet : 33 x 49 cm // Kiki Smith's Untitled (Head of Kuan Yin) (2002) is a poignant chromogenic print that reflects her fascination with the human form, spirituality, and fragility. The close-up image depicts a sculptural representation of the head of Kuan Yin, the bodhisattva of compassion, rendered in delicate, textured materials. The rough surface of the head, coupled with its partially open eyes and subtle coloration, evokes a sense of vulnerability and reverence. The photograph's intimate perspective enhances its tactile qualities and emotional depth. Measuring 32 x 48 cm, this piece is part of an edition of 3 (+1 artist proof) and reflects Smith’s exploration of materiality and the divine in everyday objects.
