About the Item

Artist's Statement At first I went to state fairs to do small drawings and little gestural sculptures of animals. Eventually I bought some chickens for models but soon realized it was no longer just the animal forms which interested me. It was the breeders, farmers, judges, record keepers, exhibitors, and the world that crossed and connected in a strange context. The fair glorifies extremes in size, movement, color, form, and thought; it celebrates assumptions surrounding male supremacy with measures of potency, production, stamina, and speed. It suggests an odd juxtaposition of the significant with the insignificant and does it all within a highly arbitrated and complex cultural circumstance. It is from this context, this microcosm, that I am seeking a form that has greater presence than that of its tangible objects and a potency that belies its delicate intimacy. Anne Martin, 1993

Cloud
By Anita Huffington
Located in Dallas, TX
The alabaster of "Cloud," upon which this bronze is based, is in the collection of the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art in Bentonville, Arkansas. Anita Huffington's work is also included in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York; the Morris Museum in Augusta, Georgia; the Arkansas Arts Center in Little Rock; and the Samuel P. Harn Museum of Art at the University of Florida in Gainesville. Anita Huffington's history includes a long period in New York City starting in the late fifties when she studied dance with Martha Graham and Merce Cunningham. Huffington became acquainted with a circle of artists of the New York School, including Kline and de Kooning, as well as a diverse and individualistic group of painters, sculptors, musicians, and poets in this vital and idealistic period. These experiences, and her later choice to live in the woods of the Arkansas Ozarks, sowed the seeds for the sculpture she makes in stone, bronze, wood, and mixed media. Her work reflects both the world of art and the spirit of her life in the woods. Anita Huffington states: "I do direct carving in stone and make bronzes, often using the stone as part of the process. My sculpture is usually based on the human form, primarily the female nude. I often carve torsos...
