Kali
Untitled (Woman), Palm Springs, CA

1972

About the Item

“Kali” was born Joan Marie Archibald in 1932 in Long Island, New York. Her beloved stepfather encouraged Kali’s interest and education in art. Because of Kali’s faith, she was particularly interested in the Italian masters and travelled extensively throughout Europe as a young student. Kali was a divorced mother by age 30 when she left her home and family for California - and her new identity as “Kali”. No one quite knows when and how her artistic practice developed, but she began taking photographs, developed the prints in her home darkroom, used dyes and organic materials in her swimming pool to layer color abstractions over the prints, and then dried them in the sun. The work of Leonardo da Vinci, Sandro Botticelli, and Filipo Lippi (click here) was adapted in many of Kali’s artworks – rendering these classical images through her own artistic eye.
