Who is Alison Saar—and why should every artist know her work? In this episode, I explore the life, vision, and creative power of Alison Saar, one of America's most celebrated contemporary sculptors and installation artists, through a conversation with a curator who has closely studied her remarkable career. For more than 30 years, Saar has created powerful works that explore history, identity, memory, and the experience of Black and African-American womanhood. Her art offers profound lessons about storytelling, persistence, and finding your own creative voice. Join me as we look at what makes Alison Saar such an important figure in contemporary art—and what professional artists can learn from the depth, courage, and originality of her work.
Here is the link to Saar's story of her Topsy-inspired series.
