Sister Corita, Between Bridges

Share: ,

November 20, 2018 would have marked the 100th birthday of Sister Corita Kent. As a graphic artist, Sister Corita contributed a signature style to the political art of the ’60s. As a bold reformer, she pushed the Church to modernize until breaking with the order in 1968. And so, to celebrate her centenary, we’ve commissioned a group of artists, curators, and admirers to reflect on her work and its influence. Here, artist Wolfgang Tillmans contributes three installation views of an exhibition of Corita’s work he staged at Between Bridges, an ongoing project space then located in the entryway to his London studio.
