Signed on edges. Circa late 1960s and early 1970s. For much of Kemenyffy's career, she has worked in tandem with her husband Steven Kemenyffy. In 1987 Susan stated about their collaborative works: "Steven is the sculptor, I am the drawer. These works would not exist if it weren’t for the sculpture; if it weren't for the clay. The clay entity comes first and my drawings come second." Steven Kemenyffy uses patterns as a point of departure for his work, while Susan Kemenyffy allows the people and things around her to become partial inspiration in addition to what Steven gives her. Kemenyffy's work is in the collection of the Smithsonian American Art Museum, The Philadelphia Museum of Art, and The Carnegie Museum to name a few. From a private collection. Dimensions: 23"w x .75"d x 24.5"h. In very good vintage condition. See less
