remarkable limited-attendance
evening features wine and food presented by master

2011 Aspen Award for Art Honoree Roni Horn
For more than thirty years, artist Roni Horn has made work
that combines conceptual rigor and formal beauty, often
exploring issues of gender, identity, and the complex
relationship between
object and subject. Horn works in a variety of media,
including photography and sculpture, creating intricate
relationships between the viewer and her work by installing
a single piece on
opposing walls, in adjoining rooms, or throughout a series
of buildings. Many works are composed of pairs, multisided
parts, or series that invite comparison between their
elements.
The diversity of Horn's works reflects her ongoing
exploration of how one's identity and memory can be as
changeable and fleeting as flowing water, weather, and time.
Past recipients of the Aspen Award for Art include artists
Marilyn Minter (2010), Fred Tomaselli (2009), Ed Ruscha
(2008), Jim Hodges (2007), Tony Feher (2006), and Richard
Tuttle (2005).
