Gwendolyn Holbrow
Gwendolyn Holbrow (born August 22, 1957), is an American artist. Primarily a sculptor, she works in a variety of media and addresses an eclectic array of topics, with exploration of boundaries a recurring theme: between the tangible and intangible worlds; between the genders; between the individual and society. Humor and satire abound in Holbrow’s art.
==Notable exhibitions, installations and awards==
Holbrow’s career highlights demonstrate both the restlessness of her vision and her skill at executing her conceptions. She has won a Gold Medal at the Massachusetts Horticultural Society’s prestigious Annual Flower Show, with ''The Root-Children'', which addressed that year’s show theme, “Deeply Rooted.” She won Best of Show at the Cambridge, MA Art Association’s National Prize Show with Queen Kong, a Barbie contemplating a diminutive, apish Ken in her clutches. And ''Make Way for Calflings'', a piece submitted for a citywide exhibition featuring cow-themed pieces from artists across America, earned $50,000 at an auction for Boston’s Jimmy Fund – by far the highest value fetched by any of that project’s many well-received pieces.
Other memorable pieces and exhibitions have included ''Keep it Clean'', a table fountain featuring a nude Ken and Barbie together in a (working) miniature shower; ''It Was Here'', a bronze and concrete “historical marker” that lures the observer into noting the infinite, overlooked value of the present moment; and ''River of Grass'', a living sculpture at the Chesterwood Estate and Museum in Stockbridge, MA, in which Holbrow transforms a line of tall grass and wildflowers into a stream, waterfall and pool coursing through the estate’s carefully manicured grounds.
