The Smiths: Tony, Kiki, Seton For the first time, major works by the renowned modernist artist Tony Smith and his daughters Chiara (Kiki) and Seton will be assembled under one roof. The occasion is "The Smiths: Tony, Kiki, Seton" on view at the Palm Beach Institute of Contemporary Art from December 3, 2002 to March 23, 2003. The exhibition has been organized by the Palm Beach ICA. Taking as its starting point one American family, two generations of the vanguard, three distinct visions, and an extensive range of media, the loan survey will explore the imagery and concerns of these three artists. Accompanying the exhibition will be a fully illustrated book designed by the innovative design team, COMA, of Amsterdam and New York. The publication, also entitled "The Smiths: Tony, Kiki, Seton"" will feature essays by writers Adrian Dannatt, Eleanor Heartney, and David Pagel; an essay by Michael Rush, director of the Palm Beach ICA; and an essay and interviews with Kiki and Seton Smith and their mother Jane Smith by the Paris, France and Palm Beach-based curator Gilbert Brownstone, who conceived and organized the exhibition for the museum. "It is difficult to find a common thread in the art of Tony, Kiki and Seton Smith," said Mr. Brownstone. "But, in fact, it was this wide range of content, approach, and sensibility, as well as the intensity of concentration each artist brings to the task of making art, that attracted me to this exhibition project. I believe that this showing of sculptures, drawings, photographs and prints will prove to be a revelation for viewers."
