Sculpture by Jessica Stockholder, Two Frames (pink plastic, children's chair, fake fur, plastic parts, vinyl, halogen light and fixture, weight bracket, cable, extension cord, garbage bag, yarn, beads, acrylic and oil paint, wooden drawer, metal frame; 236 x 130 x 56 cm; 2007The image illustrates a key, career-long body of work in Jessica Stockholder's career in which she has created human-scaled, autonomous assemblages or sculptures, often built in her studio and exhibited in galleries. These works employ everyday objects and furniture and mix elements of assemblage art and Color Field painting. They engage intervening spaces between wall and artwork, often, as in the case of this work, by using attached lamps that cast colored light on walls and structures. These later sculptures have been characterized as more intimate, concise and less installation-driven than earlier work, and noted for their use of household objects, unconventional fastening and suspension methods, and mastery of color and texture. This work has been publicly exhibited in prominent venues, discussed widely in major art journals and daily press publications, and collected by major museums.

The image serves an informational and educational purpose as the primary means of illustrating a key, career-long body of work in Jessica Stockholder's career: her more human-scaled, autonomous assemblages or sculptures, often built in her studio and exhibited in galleries, which mix elements of assemblage art and Color Field painting. These works employ everyday objects and furniture, and engage intervening spaces between wall and artwork. They have been noted for their insistent abstraction, quirky juxtapositions, rough construction, and unusual mix of unruliness with refined, Matisse-like color and patterning. 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 this key, longstanding and distinct body of work, which brought Stockholder early and continuing recognition through exhibitions and installations in museums and galleries and coverage by major critics and publications. Stockholder's work of this type has been collected by major museums and is discussed in the article and by critics cited in the article.
