Filkosky, Sister Josefa (Patricia) (American/Western Pennsylvania, 1933-1999), Components for a Monumental Untitled Pipe Sculpture, 1990s, wood base with 18 PVC pipes painted in gradients of pink. Base measures 64 x 53.5 inches. Pipe lengths from 60 to 112 inches. This piece is incomplete as is. We believe that it is likely missing another base, as well as all of the original connector pieces and hardware. Thus, it's being sold only for its components and historical importance. The artist was a Western Pennsylvania native, a nun, and the head of the art department at Seton Hill College in Greensburg, PA. Her large sculptures can be found all over Western PA, including in downtown Pittsburgh and outside of the Westmoreland Museum of Art. She was one of the four female modernist artists celebrated in the 2025 exhibition Wavelengths, held at the University Art Gallery at the University of Pittsburgh, alongside Aaronel deRoy Gruber, Sue Fuller and Jane Haskell. COMES WITH a vintage exhibition poster for one of her shows in New York at The Art Image in All Media Gallery.
