Katie Pell, ”Charm and Weight,” 2008, wood, with paint, 228 x 396in, 579.1 x 1005.8cm
"The true educational significance of a museum collection is embodied in Charm and Weight (2008) by San Antonio artist Katie Pell. Pell was a force unto herself, as anyone who knew her will say, up until the moment she died in 2019. The McNay acquired this monumental carved wood charm bracelet sculpture in 2021, and it now anchors the sculpture gallery adjacent to the main gallery. " - Nicholas Frank
