File:Annabeth Rosen Wave II with Sol Lewitt wall painting 2018.jpg

Sculpture by Annabeth Rosen, Wave II (fired and glazed ceramic wired to steel armature, 71" X 60" x 28", 2017; shown with Sol LeWitt wall drawing at Cranbroook Art Museum in 2018). The image illustrates a key later-career body of work by Annabeth Rosen in the 2010s, when she produced large-scale, mound-like works assembled out of masses of bulbs, tubes, gourds, balls and blobs. The image depicts the sculpture Wave II (2017), an undulating white-and-black striped mass of bulbs and tubes that on a steel armature that evoked both water in motion and a posed odalisque. It was exhibited in 2018 (as shown) with a Sol LeWitt wall painting (background) at the Cranbrook Art Museum. This work was publicly exhibited in prominent exhibitions and discussed in major art journals and daily press publications.

The image serves an informational and educational purpose as the primary means of illustrating a later-career body of work by Annabeth Rosen's career in the 2010s: her large-scale, mound-like works resembling tilting haystacks, rocky cliffs or melting snowmen. These works often consisted of masses of bulbs, tubes, gourds, balls and blobs wired and piled on wheeled dollies or steel armatures that evoked natural and anthropomorphic associations. Critics relate this work to art-historical ceramic figures such as recalling Robert Arneson, Peter Voulkos, Viola Frey, Ken Price and Betty Woodman, and to postminimalist sculptors Eva Hesse, Jackie Winsor, Yayoi Kusama and Lynda Benglis. Because the article is about an artist and her work, the omission of the image would significantly limit a reader's understanding and ability to understand this key stage and body of work, which brought Rosen ongoing recognition through exhibitions, coverage by major critics and publications, and museum acquisitions. Rosen's work of this type and this series is discussed in the article and by critics cited in the article.
