Lines Traveling Through Space: Ghosts and Shadows, Minimal Sculpture by Tal Streeter
Tal Streeter’s first works as an artist, while he was living, creating, and exhibiting in New York City galleries and museums in the 1960s, drew upon his Manhattan, Kansas, background. These early sculptures were what he describes as “a distillation, abstractions of the windblown grasses of the Konza Prairie.” The metal “Prairie Sculptures” were exhibited in the 1964 New York World’s Fair and the Whitney Museum of Art. An example will be included in this Beach Museum of Art exhibition.
