'Night Clerk at the Young Hotel' by Edward and Nancy Reddin Kienholz

            This figurative sculpture of a hotel lobby by Edward (1927-1994) and Nancy Reddin Kienholz (1943-     ) was pulled from the condemned Young Hotel in Spokane, Washington.  The artists chose the site for its initially unsettling atmosphere. They added elements throughout, including the signs on the wall.  The clerk....modeled on their friend and local butcher, Bill Hoskins...is surrounded by these inhospitable signs.  

Edward Kienholz’s collaboration with his wife Nancy Reddin Kienholz began in 1972, when they met in Los Angeles. Edward had been an active artist for decades prior to meeting Nancy, a photojournalist. In their collaboration, the Kienholzes further developed the quasi-autobiographical, assemblage installations that Edward was famous for. Their works together have addressed issues of racial discrimination, women’s rights, and the Vietnam War. 

Seen and photographed on display at San Francisco's Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA).
