Artist: Sarah Sze Title: Night Audio: Date: 2001-03 Dimensions: 37 1/2″ x 71″ Location in Library: First floor Media: Offset lithography and silkscreen, works on paper Owner: The Brooklyn College Library Collection. Purchased with Dormitory Authority of New York Art Acquisition Funds. © Sarah Sze Description: In both Day and Night a fantasy of miscellany is set free from function and gravity. In these exuberant prints, screened lines seem to propel and control the planets, buildings, architectural details, helicopters, signs, and satellite objects that swirl across the paper. Using dozens of layers of lithography and silkscreen, Sze creates an explosion of colors, forms, and light. There is an initial impression of chaos but there is also an inherent underlying composition. Although she begins with preliminary sketches, Sze describes her creative process as “improvisational, like jazz.” Related Websites– Sarah Sze’s Website – Sarah Sze at Gagosian Gallery
