File:Annabeth Rosen Waver at CAMH 2018.jpg

Sculpture by Annabeth Rosen, "Waver" exhibition image, Contemporary Arts Museum Houston, 2018. The image illustrates comprehensively Annabeth Rosen's career-long oeuvre, including large-scale sculpture, pedestal-sized works and drawings, using an image from her 2018 survey exhibition at the Contemporary Arts Museum Houston. It shows her immersive, mostly ink, gouache and acrylic drawings, which often consist of entire surfaces covered with repeated, wave-like gestural marks. Like her clay pieces, they emphasize painterly gesture, accumulation, immediacy, and conceptual and formal experimentation. These sculptural and drawing works were publicly exhibited in prominent exhibitions, discussed in major art journals and daily press publications, and exhibited and acquired by major museums.

The image serves an informational and educational purpose as the primary means of illustrating a comprehensive and comparative view of Annabeth Rosen's career-long oeuvre, which includes her large-scale sculpture, pedestal-sized works and drawings. Her sculpture generally combines precariously balanced and structurally dense forms, packed gestural surfaces, and expressively applied glazes, constructed using a hands-on, accumulative process analogous to growth. Her work often disrupts perception, with shifts between detail and whole and micro- and macro-scales. Critics regard her drawings as an major part of her practice, which attest to the importance of furious, iterative mark-making in her three-dimensional work. Because the article is about an artist and her work, the omission of the image would significantly limit a reader's understanding and ability to understand the relationships between these key bodies of work. Rosen's work of this type and these series are discussed in the article and by critics cited in the article.

There is no free equivalent of this or any other of this series by Annabeth Rosen, and the installation no longer exists, so the image cannot be replaced by a free image.
