"Gyöngy Laky is an American sculptor living and working in San Francisco, California. Her work has been exhibited in the U.S., Europe, Asia and South America. She gained recognition early in her career for her linear sculptures constructed in the architectural methods of textile arts. “Laky’s art manifests architectonic sensibility. She is as much an engineer as she is an artist in the conventional sense.” She is also known for her site-specific, outdoor, temporary installations.
She expanded the boundaries through the development of dramatic new installations and the use of new kinds of materials. She is particularly well known in the areas of: 1) sculpture; 2) installations; 3) word works; 4) basketry. She has won awards including the National Endowment for the Arts Award of Distinction. Her works are held in the permanent collections of the Smithsonian, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, among others. In 2003, The Oral History Center of the Bancroft Library at UC Berkeley, released her oral history. Her personal papers are in the Smithsonian Institution, Washington, DC." - (Wikipedia (en) 12.08.2021)
