The Shape Of Things.(Rachel Feinstein's abstract sculpture )
Byline: editor: Valerie Steiker LESLIE CAMHI
Rachel Feinstein unleashes a Baroque fantasy at Marianne Boesky Gallery.
R achel Feinstein has certainly put in her time as a muse, having inspired everyone from Marc Jacobs to her husband, John Currin, who has portrayed the statuesque blonde with wide-set eyes and a loopy smile in countless paintings. But she was all sculptor on a late-winter morning in her Tribeca studio, where, dressed in jeans and a T-shirt, she was in a whirlwind of preparation for her new show, which opens this month at Marianne Boesky Gallery in Chelsea. "I have an immediacy problem--I really like to see results quickly," she says. "These things have been going on for seven months now."
"These things" include a gigantic, nearly abstract wall piece, loosely based on a Gothic tapestry of Saint Michael slaying the dragon (soon to be recast in copper) and a whimsically magnificent ebony carriage, part Dr. Seuss, part Marie Antoinette, whose rear wheels, impaled with two crosses, lie crumpled beside it.
"Years ago, we went to Schonbrunn," the 37-year-old artist recalls of a trip she took with Currin, after which their friend Tobias Meyer (the Austrian-born worldwide head of contemporary art at Sotheby's) guided them through the palaces of the Black Forest. "It's a bright-pink, very schmaltzy castle. But in the Wagenburg, where they keep the royal carriages, there was this beautiful hearse they'd use to carry the queen's coffin."
