New York artist Rachel Feinstein's work is being exhibited alongside Renaissance masters at three venues in Florence.
“Florence is definitely the birthplace to all of my feelings about sculpture,” she says.
“I had a visceral experience standing in front of [the sculptures],” she adds. “They were these two opposing sculptures made by the same person. And I got kind of obsessed on this whole thing about dualities.” “It’s always been some new thing that has upset humankind. And how do people deal with it?” she says. “Looking at art is the way that I learn how to deal with the craziness that’s going on in our world.”
Much of her work interrogates how women have been represented throughout history. This thread is most prevalent at the Museo Marino Marini, where her first “Angels” sculptures, based on Victoria’s Secret runway models, are exhibited alongside Marini’s 1929 “Dancer” sculpture. Feinstein is also debuting eight new Angel sculptures scaled down and rendered in porcelain at the Museo Stefano Bardini.
“A long time ago, people believed witches were these satanic creatures,” she says. “And all it is is based on the idea that these were women that were healers and that were actually able to do things that men weren’t able to do,” she adds. “[Grien] used the symbol of the sexy witch as a way to sell art as a male artist.
