Linda Stein
Linda Stein, Vestment 628 - Contemporary Mixed Media Metal Wood Armor Sculpture

2008

About the Item

Vestment 628 from Linda Stein’s Knights of Protection series functions both as a defender in battle and a symbol of pacifism. The series references popular and religious icons such as Wonder Woman, Princess Mononoke and the Buddhist goddess of mercy Kannon, and addresses protection, safety and upstander behavior. This artwork was exhibited in a solo exhibition titled "Linda Stein, Strong Suit: Armor as Second Skin" at the National Association of Women Artists in New York in 2009. This armor-like sculpture is made of wood, metal and mixed media. Please note: this work attaches to the wall with Lucite brackets, as seen in the images. 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.
