Young Artists 2010
In the Beitzel and Righter Galleries
February 7 - February 14, 2010
Marking its 27th year, the Young Artists exhibition showcases the extraordinary talents of seniors from the Museum’s member high schools. This year features the work of over 300 students from 34 schools in Westchester, Putnam, Rockland, Dutchess, and Fairfield counties. Concurrently on view in the Project Gallery is Thinking Through Art, an exhibition of student work created during a year-long collaboration between the KMA and six area elementary schools. Together, the two shows and their related programs have become an annual celebration of community, family, and children’s art.

On the South Lawn
October 18, 2009 – September 19, 2010
A new monumental sculpture welcomes visitors to the KMA. Steve Tobin's rolled and bent steel "roots" soar 22 feet above the ground. Fabricated for the site, the sculpture's twisting forms and rust-colored patina complement the surrounding landscape.
Chakaia Booker
In the Simpson Sculpture Garden
May 2, 2009 – March 1, 2010In the early 1990s, Chakaia Booker began constructing sculptures from discarded rubber tires, using the various tread patterns and colors as visual palette and social metaphor. For Booker, the resilience of the rubber symbolizes the strength of African-American identity in the modern world, while color nuances evoke a range of black skin tones. The tire grooves also reference the scarification practices popular in certain African cultures.
