Magdalena Abakanowicz
Born June 20, 1930
Abakanowicz created powerful sculptural works exploring:
- humanity
- community
- individuality
- resilience
Many of Abakanowicz’s sculptures are groups of human figures—similar, yet all slightly different—which beautifully reflects themes of identity, belonging, and shared human experience.
Her work is emotional, thoughtful, and visually striking without being overly abstract for general audiences. It also connects with our mission of honoring every person’s unique story.
Even when creating forms that are far from human, Abakanowicz is able to evoke a feeling of community in her sculptures. And community is where a great deal of our strength comes from–helping one another and supporting our neighbors makes all of us safer, stronger and more harmonious.
