Artist Kennedy Yanko works on Jetstream dream for “Retro Future” with Salon 94.

Salon 94 presents Retro Future, Kennedy Yanko’s fourth solo exhibition with the gallery and her most expansive to date. In a first for the gallery, Yanko’s work extends across all three floors of Salon 94’s Beaux Arts headquarters and features both new and recent sculptures combining the artist’s trademark contorted metallic forms with abstract paint skins. On this occasion the artist has curated a group exhibition of works by artists who have influenced her practice including John Chamberlain, Frank Stella, Barbara Chase-Riboud, Suzanne Jackson, Leonardo Drew, and more.
