Kiki Smith in Like Life: Sculpture, Color, and the Body (1300–Now)

Like Life: Sculpture, Color, and the Body (1300–Now) presents seven hundred years of sculptural practice—from fourteenth-century Europe to the global present—in an exploration of sculpture in which artists have sought to replicate the literal, living presence of the human body. Like Life places key sculptures from different eras in conversation with each other, in order to examine the age-old problem of realism and the different strategies deployed by artists to blur the distinctions between original and copy, and life and art.
