The retrospective dedicated to the American artist features around 150 works made from 1983 to the present day, encompassing a range of formats and materials, including drawings, photographs, bronzes, prints and tapestries.

New commissions by Maya Lin and Kiki Smith join contributions from more than two dozen world-renowned artists throughout the 19.3-acre campus of the Obama Presidential Center in Chicago, which opens to the public for the first time today, June 19, 2026.

Continuing her 25-year relationship with Galerie Lelong, Kiki Smith will unveil her tenth exhibition with the gallery this May.

This winter, the Kent State University School of Art Collection and Galleries invites the public to experience three compelling exhibitions that span bold contemporary voices, historic printmaking traditions and landmark German Expressionist works.

Kiki Smith's Latest Exhibition: A Journey Through Time and Embodiment

Timothy Taylor is pleased to present an exhibition by Kiki Smith in London, the artist’s fifth solo presentation with the gallery. Spanning from 1997 to the present, the exhibition brings together sculptures and drawings that reflect Smith’s ongoing engagement with the natural world and its connection to mythology, spirituality, and the human condition.

The Obama Foundation has commissioned ten more artists to make works for the Obama Presidential Center in Chicago, which is scheduled to open in spring 2026. Nine new site-specific pieces will be created by Nick Cave, Nekisha Durrett, Jenny Holzer, Jules Julien, Idris Khan, Aliza Nisenbaum, Jack Pierson, Alison Saar, Kiki Smith and Marie Watt.

"Multidisciplinary artist Kiki Smith visited the Clark Institute of Art last Saturday to discuss her evolving body of work — which spans sculpture, etching, printmaking, photography, drawing, and, most recently, textiles. Her art wrestles with themes of sex, reproduction, mortality, and nature. Her large-scale tapestry, Seven Seas, was the most recent addition to Wall Power!, a special exhibition on show at the Clark until March 9. The exhibition showcases a collection of contemporary French tapestries on loan from the Mobilier national of France."

Kiki Smith, a renowned contemporary artist whose work explores the fundamental themes of human existence, natural cycles and mythological structures, continuously pushes the boundaries of contemporary visual art. Her exhibition "Woven Worlds" (Museum of Contemporary Art of Montenegro, 21/11/2024 - 21/02/2025) represents a specific artistic narrative in which material and immaterial, historical and contemporary, body and universe intertwine. Through carefully designed compositions, techniques and motifs, Smith builds a complex artistic space, inviting the viewer to think about the relationships between nature, the human body and the collective imagination.

During her over four-decade-long career, contemporary American artist Kiki Smith predominantly explored themes concerning the human body, identity, and feminism. She was one of the first artists to address the AIDS crisis. Smith’s work also explores issues related to the female body and identity. She has challenged traditional depictions of women and their roles in art, by tackling issues such as sexuality, fertility, and the aging process. Smith’s art reflects a broader social and cultural dialogue about gender and social justice.
