New Zealand artist Susan Te Kahurangi King has made six designs for Aspen skiers\u2019 lift tickets this winter. The Aspen Skiing Co. announced King as this winter\u2019s artist Wednesday and unveiled the pass designs, adapted from King\u2019s colorful and intricate felt tip marker drawings.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are incredibly excited to work with Susan King, whose art sparks a similar joy that is found spending time in the beautiful mountains and this incredible community,\u201d Skico president and CEO Mike Kaplan said in the announcement.<\/p>\n

King\u2019s extensive exhibition history includes major art fairs, galleries and museums including the Institute of Contemporary Art, Miami and the American Folk Art Museum. She has been featured in many international exhibitions, sometimes in the context of so-called \u201doutsider\u201d art.<\/p>\n

A self-taught artist, King lost her ability to speak as a young child and found a heightened ability and commitment to drawing. As young as age 7, she was prolific and showed signs of talent as a young artist. Her felt tip marker drawings have garnered international attention over the past decade and she was the subject of the 2012 documentary film \u201cPictures of Susan.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are proud to have Susan Te Kahurangi King join the impressive roster of artists in this unique collaboration,\u201d Paula Crown, an artist married to the Skico\u2019s managing partner Jim Crown, said in the announcement. \u201cThe contributing artists over the past 15 years represent an extraordinary breadth of creative talents, identities and geographies, and Susan\u2019s story is especially inspirational.\u201d<\/p>\n

The company\u2019s \u201cArt in Unexpected Places\u201d pass art program featured work by Hank Willis Thomas<\/a> for the 2018-19 season and work by Crown herself<\/a> in 2017-18. In the preceding years, \u201cArt in Unexpected Places\u201d<\/a> was carried out in collaboration with the Aspen Art Museum and featured contemporary artists such as Takashi Murakami<\/a>, Anne Collier<\/a>, Mark Bradford and Yutaka Sone.<\/p>\n
