Description
Tauba Auerbach is a visual artist working in many disciplines. Her exhibition Flow Separation (July 2018–June 2019), created for the Public Art Fund, featured her embellishment of the historic fireboat in New York harbor. In applying marbling to the boat’s exterior, Auerbach paid homage to dazzle camouflage, a form of patterning invented during World War. Her patterns also reference the motion that occurs in water as a boat moves through it.
