Deborah Kass Makes an Impact in Brooklyn

October 23, 2015 by Marion Maneker

Deb Kass, OY YO

Deborah Kass is an artist who needs more visibility. She’ll get that with this new installation of her clever OY YO sculpture:

Those heading to Dumbo or Manhattan will get a bold shout out come Nov. 9, when Deborah Kass’s first public sculpture is installed in Brooklyn Bridge Park. Huge yellow aluminum letters, visible from the F.D.R. Drive, will spell “YO” against the backdrop of Brooklyn. The flip side, for those gazing at Manhattan, will read “OY.” The Two Trees Management Company, a Dumbo-based real estate developer, commissioned the artwork, on view through next summer. Ms. Kass — known for appropriating the styles of male artists as both homage and feminist one-upmanship — first created “OY” as a painting riffing on Edward Ruscha’s 1962 Pop canvas, “OOF.”
