Parkett Vol. 52

Quote from Parkett
“Unlike other painters who focus on the well-known, the beautiful, and the dynamic between the famous and the secondary… Kilimnik is less absorbed in their perfection… Kilimnik is a bit of a killer. She loves to love them but at times they seem to get on even her nerves. Each character, from fairy tale princesses and birds, to heiresses, orphans, and models, becomes a vessel for a broad mixture of self-doubt and conceit.”
Collier Schorr, Parkett No. 52, 1998

Additional Quote
“Karen Kilimnik is associated with the Scatter generation, and best known for her collage-based work and installations of objects from popular culture… She often creates a romantic world that draws on contemporary media, gothic mysteries, and fairy tales… as in this spindle of gold thread (hair) on a bed of moss, which references Rapunzel, the homonymous protagonist in this German fairy tale.” -Artnet
