Life

Cady Noland was born the daughter of the American color field artist Kenneth Noland .

Her work deals, among other things, with the failed promises of the American Dream and the issues of fame and anonymity. Typical of her works since the 1980s and 1990s have been room-filling installations or railings made of steel pipes , printed aluminum plates and chain link fences , massive chains made of metal links, motor oil cans, car tires and other car parts or orthopedic walking aids , beer cans , American flags , handcuffs , Helmets and other military or police equipment that can be read as symbols of violence, fear and exclusion in contemporary American society, but also refer to the limits of mobility in society.

Some works deal with scenes of violence that were seen in the mass media and are therefore widely known: Tanya as a Bandit from 1989 shows the granddaughter of William Randolph Hearst , Patty Hearst , shooting around with an automatic weapon during a robbery. The woman had joined the Symbionese Liberation Army in 1974 , from which she was originally kidnapped. The work Oozewald , also from 1989, shows the murder of the alleged Kennedy assassin Lee Harvey Oswald . It was sold at Sotheby’s , New York for $ 6.9 million in 2011 . That was the highest known price for a work of art by a living artist. The successor Bluewald was sold at Christie's New York in 2015 for $ 9.797 million.

Noland's work has been shown in various museums and exhibitions. From the mid-1990s onwards, she had no longer allowed exhibitions of her works for a period of 22 years. She cannot be photographed or interviewed; Those who do not adhere to their guidelines run the risk of being covered with legal proceedings. In this time an event falls at the auction house Sotheby's New York in 2011, where they are from their work Cowboys Milking (1990) "renounced" ( English to disavow because they complained) whose condition. The auction, which was then canceled, led to a series of legal disputes and led to a discussion about whether an artist could distance himself from an earlier work in this way and what consequences this would have for the art market . Noland is not represented by a gallery .
