Anderson Ranch Arts Center will honor Simone Leigh with its 2020 International Artist Award, the nonprofit announced Monday.<\/p>\n

Art critics Jerry Saltz and Roberta Smith, husband and wife and critics for New York Magazine and the New York Times respectively, will be honored with the Ranch\u2019s Service to the Arts Award.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am grateful to receive this prestigious award,\u201d Leigh said in the announcement, adding of her time at the Snowmass Village campus: \u201cIt was an honor to fire the Noborigama kiln with Takashi Nakazato and other members of the community. In my short time here, I have already started to have new ideas.\u201d<\/p>\n

A sculptor and multimedia artist, Leigh\u2019s recent works include the 16-foot-tall bronze \u201cBrick House\u201d installation on the High Line in New York City, on view through September.<\/p>\n

The prizes will be given at the Ranch\u2019s 24th annual recognition dinner July 16.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery time I go to Anderson Ranch I want to change my life, attend all the classes and workshops and learn how to throw a pot, operate a lathe, weld metal, paint,\u201d said Saltz, winner of the 2018 Pulitzer Prize for criticism. \u201cMy heart beats faster there.\u201d<\/p>\n

Smith recalled the \u201cdebacle\u201d of her own previous visit to Anderson Ranch to deliver a lecture, but called it \u201ca place that has always seemed based on a larger, increasingly essential generosity: namely, that it is important to have artists teach other artists in the company of nature.\u201d<\/p>\n

The awards dinner is the Ranch\u2019s biggest annual fundraising event and includes cocktails, dinner and a live auction. Leigh follows recent winners of the Ranch\u2019s Artist Award like Ai Weiwei and Carrie Mae Weems.<\/p>\n

\u201cHaving Simone, Jerry and Roberta, all internationally-recognized leaders in the art world, as our honorees, is thrilling as they have each spent considerable time on campus,\u201d Ranch president and CEO Peter Waanders said in the announcement.<\/p>\n
