UNTITLED 2000

It has been a long time...this site will be renewed on 01/21/2013 in order to keep a record of KIPP's work on the web. In other news, I discovered a new acrylic held by The von Liebig Art Center in Naples, FL where KIPP has been living for many years. I added the piece to this site...original link is here

HUGO and DRAGON FLY

It has been some time since I received any new information to report. This week, while investigating Chattanooga, TN via satellite imagery, I noticed some work in a field near John Henry's sculpture studio. I confirmed with John directly that HUGO and DRAGON FLY have been maintained and will be part of a new sculpture park soon.
Stay tuned.

UNTITLED 1963

Received an inquiry earlier this week from a gentleman in the UK who was in the possession of an early 60s Parson's bronze. It is a great transitory piece that begins to inform much of the work created during the rest of this decade. The most surprising element is the lenticular shape that never again made an appearance. Excellent new entry.

HUDSON BAY Update

After many years of searching and email inquiries to the UA Museum of Art, the Tucson Pima Arts Council has finally presented some imagery befitting of HUDSON BAY. Thank you.

Prints

I spoke to Lyman a couple of weeks ago about the rolled prints that are so prevalent. During a dinner with some friends this evening, the hostess said, "I have to show you my little KIPP print". In the master bathroom, hanging to the left of the sink, was a little KIPP. See the UNTITLED print from 1969.

New Images

Beau sent some old photos of DOLLBABY and LEVENWORTH in situ at the now defunct Gulf Coast Art Museum in Pinewood Cultural Park near Largo, FL. Flickr and other sites never yielded any imagery but we are so glad to finally have a record now. If anyone has an idea where they ended up, please drop a line.

New Imagery

Special thanks to the Grand Rapids Art Museum for supplying images of the 4 pieces in their collection; BULLSHOALS, KOBI, OSHKOSH and ZEPHYR. I believe the ZEPHYR maquette is photographed in the wrong orientation based on the final piece that was displayed in the "Off the Pedestal" show in 1973. They also offered access to all of the documentation about the OTP Show so I plan to take full advantage of the opportunity. Hoping that there are a few installation photos that weren't published in the show catalog. Stay tuned.
