The International Sculpture Center presented artists Alice Aycock and Betye Saar with the 27th Annual Lifetime Achievement in Contemporary Sculpture Award on April 18th, 2018 at Tribeca Rooftop in New York City. To learn more about this event, visit our website: Alice Aycock has lived in New York City since 1968. She received a B.A. from Douglass College and an M.A. from Hunter College. She has exhibited in major museums and galleries nationally as well as in Europe and Japan. Currently she is represented by Marlborough Gallery, New York and Galerie Thomas Schulte, Berlin. Born in Los Angeles, artist Betye Saar is one of the most important of her generation. As one of the artists who ushered in the development of Assemblage art, Betye Saar's practice reflects on African American identity, spirituality, and the connectedness between different cultures. Her symbolically rich body of work has evolved over time to demonstrate the environmental, cultural, political, racial, technological, economic, and historical context in which it exists. This event was sponsored and supported by Karen & Robert Duncan, Agnes Gund, Ree & Jun Kaneko, Kathy & Marc LeBaron – Lincoln Industries, Marlborough Gallery, Barbara & Donald Tober, and The Seward Johnson Atelier. We would also like to give a special thank you to Digital Atelier, The Lapis Press, and Roberts Projects. The International Sculpture Center is supported by the New Jersey State Council on the Arts/Department of State, a Partner Agency of the National Endowment for the Arts and by funds from the National Endowment for the Arts.
