Art Simi

SBMA’s newest contemporary art exhibition “Scenes from a Marriage: Ed & Nancy Kienholz” is on view now through May 21.

This exhibition celebrates the recent gift of Edward and Nancy Reddin Kienholz’s “Bout Round Eleven.” The sculpture is about a relationship that is past the point of fighting, having gone ten rounds. The woman stares into the distance, while the man is engrossed in television violence. “Scenes from a Marriage" brings together other works by Ed and Nancy that consider marriage, family, and sexuality and reflect on their artistic partnership, which began in 1972 and ended with Ed’s death in 1994. Nancy continued to make art until she died in 2019.
