Stolen Kisses

Polly Apfelbaum is an American artist known for large-scale installations and floor-based works that reimagine abstraction through textile, pigment, and unconventional materials. Her practice, which emerged in the 1980s, prioritizes horizontal display and architectural intervention over the vertical easel painting. Apfelbaum works with industrial fabrics, dyed materials, and powder pigments arranged in sprawling geometric or organic configurations that transform gallery spaces into immersive color fields. Her approach challenges modernist conventions of medium specificity and the autonomy of the art object.
