A retrospective of the polymath's underexamined paintings and sculptures Frederick John Kiesler (1890-1965) was a polymath of the 20th century, excelling as an architect, artist, set designer, interior designer and more. Kiesler's influence not only extends across creative disciplines but also transcends the boundaries of Viennese Modernism, De Stijl, Dada, Surrealism, Abstract Expressionism and Pop art. Over the course of his lifetime, he befriended an illustrious array of artists, including Hans Arp, Robert Rauschenberg and Andy Warhol. The Art of Frederick Kiesler focuses on Kiesler's paintings and sculptures, highlighting their significance within the artist's oeuvre. The first-of-its-kind survey unveils some of Kiesler's major achievements, including his previously unseen masterpiece Bucephalus (1964-65), whose cavelike belly is penetrable by viewers. Amply illustrated, The Art of Frederick Kiesler is infused with scholarly texts by renowned art historians, who unspool the remarkable facets of Kiesler's life and work.
