About the Item
Linda Stein, Spoon to Shell 894: Shells Only - Mixed Media Shell Wood Contemporary Assemblage Sculpture
Spoon to Shell 894: Shells Only is from Linda Stein's Holocaust Heroes: Fierce Females series, which highlights Holocaust-era female heroes.
According to Stein:
“The everyday spoon was like gold to a victim in a concentration camp. With it, one could avoid putting lips to tuberculosis-infested urns of watery gruel being passed around. Reading about sexual abuse during this period, I discovered a spoon was sometimes ‘given’ in return for sexual favors. In this series of work, the spoon became a metaphor of the victim’s continuous trauma. I wonder: what would I have given up to obtain a spoon?
Mulling around these various meanings and images, brought forth by the spoon in the context of women in the Holocaust, I found myself creating this series of box sculptures within an amalgam of mixed materials, words and associations."
Spoon to Shell 894: Shells Only was exhibited at Ronald Feldman Gallery in New York.
Stein's works are in more than 25 museum permanent collections, including Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, Georgia Museum of Art, and Ringling Museum of Art in the US; Victoria Gallery & Museum and Manchester Art Gallery in the UK; Espoo Museum of Modern Art in Finland; and Konstmuseet i Skövde in Sweden.

Throughout her artistic career, Linda Stein's work has addressed issues of persecution and protection, focusing on oppression of the “other” through the lens of anti-bullying and social justice. As result of running for an entire day from the falling Twin Towers in the Ground Zero area of Manhattan, her previously-abstract work after 9/11 became figurative, armor-like, and she realized that she was creating visual and visceral symbols of protection, androgynous sentinel-like figures to stand guard against the foe. Her work often incorporates a family of pop-culture and religious icons like Wonder Woman, Princess Mononoke, Lisbeth Salander, Lady Gaga, Storm and Nausicaa, that start conversations about issues of power and vulnerability. Her works are in more than 25 museum permanent collections, including Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, Georgia Museum of Art, and Ringling Museum of Art in the US; Victoria Gallery & Museum and Manchester Art Gallery in the UK; Konstmuseet i Skövde in Sweden; and Espoo Museum of Modern Art in Sweden.
