Betye Saar: Still Tickin’ On view January 30 – May 1, 2016 at the Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art

Leaves, butterflies, old photographs and handkerchiefs are ordinary objects…but can tell an extraordinary story. Through her many collages and assemblages that incorporate common objects together in artful ways, artist Betye Saar weaves narratives about mysticism and spirituality, celebrity, personal memories, and race and politics.
