Elizabeth Turk At Art Basel Miami Beach 2012
This year’s Art Basel Miami Beach, contemporary best was sculptor Elizabeth Turk, marble carving to an exquisite belief in the fluid form.
Her work is a shining example of where the direction lies towards a classic Fine Art future, the humility needed to execute a
perfect patience with such a delicate pursuit of the making, leaves one only to marvel in response.
Elizabeth Turk’s latest marble sculptures would be a touch stone cultural bridge to middle east liberal progressions,
part of a new creative generation of women moving the eco- symbols of humanity towards the transcontinental spring.
Her work is Nationally recognized by the American Institute of Architects and the MacArthur Foundation, two important credits
to her career. Turk’s current series of Ribbon marble forms are a joy to behold. They immediately evoke a collective response,
as total strangers share their wonderment together. When Art achieves this, it’s worth every dime to own it because we will all
pay more than a dime to see it again and again.
