"The exhibition "River Library" at the Alon Foundation, together with its accompanying publication, provides a welcome opportunity to introduce the Argentine-born artist to new audiences, many of whom may be unfamiliar with her formal, conceptual and spiritual directions as these have evolved during more than fifty years. "River Library" presents a selection of mud drawings and a video of Emergences. Approximately forty drawings fromt he ongoing series River Library ahve been selected from more than two hundred and thirty wrks. the drawings are made in a mud-and-water solution with sediments from many rivers in the world. The video Emergences poetically documents the eight different stone installations at the shoreline of the Hudson River in low and high tide as the water covers and uncovers the stones."
