    News and Articles on Edward Kienholz



    Place, perspective: Exhibitions by Jay Johnson, Raul Guerrero  Dec 21, 2007
    The great sculptor Edward Kienholz used this idea to famous effect in his walk-in environment of 1964-65, The Beanery, a takeoff on Barney's Beanery in Los Angeles. Full-scale cast figures inside it have clocks for heads. (San Diego Union-Tribune)

    Painting gets a broader brush in L.A.  Dec 4, 2007
    Not until the second half of the '50s did the primary achievements of such marvelous Beat Generation assemblage artists as Wallace Berman and Edward Kienholz appear. Yet the dawn of important L.A. art is regularly misrepresented as emerging in their great sculptures. (Los Angeles Times)

    'Peter Simensky' gives bang for buck  Aug 6, 2007
    The late Edward Kienholz is highly regarded for life-size sculptures that offer gut wrenching social commentary, but his Watercolors are a trenchant take on artistic reputation and the commodity value of art. The words he stencilled on paper, the same way each time and against the same lightly colored background, were for goods or money. (San Diego Union-Tribune)
