Presented by the Fritz Ascher Society as part of their monthly series “Flight or Fight: stories of artists under repression,” Dr. Sarah Eckhardt (Associate Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts in Richmond, VA) and Shaina Larrivee (Director of The Hedda Sterne Foundation, New York) discuss Hedda Sterne’s emigration from Romania to the US. This conversation explores Sterne’s shift in artistic practice, from the Surrealist collage techniques and dream imagery she utilized in Europe, to her experiments in New York visually expressing the temporal reality of American technology and urban landscapes.
