David Zwirner: Dana Schutz's First Outdoor Sculpture 'Blind Boat' Unveiled at Kistefos Museum
The Facts
Kistefos Museum in Jevnaker, Norway, has unveiled a monumental bronze sculpture by Dana Schutz titled "Blind Boat." The work is Schutz's first outdoor sculpture at this scale, standing seven meters tall and weighing more than 12 tons. It depicts a boat carrying three characters with mythological references, including a stylized sun, hollowed-out eyeballs, and a carrion bird. The sculpture is on permanent view in the museum's sculpture park.
The Signal
The installation marks a significant expansion of Schutz's practice into large-scale public sculpture, reflecting her growing influence beyond painting. For collectors, it signals a new market for Schutz's three-dimensional work, which began in 2018. The prominent placement at Kistefos, a leading international sculpture park, enhances her profile among institutional and outdoor art collectors.
