The day she was born, Cathy was given a Calder mobile by friends of her parents. Her mother was friends with Henry Moore, and Cathy grew up with four beautiful Moore maquettes in the living room. Her mother, Tippet, after whom Tippet Rise is named, discovered the artist Yaacov Agam on the Riviera. Her father, Sidney, manufactured his art for many decades. Together they introduced him to Walter Annenberg and to Valéry Giscard d’Estaing (both of whom have Agams in their collections). Agam now has a room in the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris, a sculpture outside Juilliard, and is an established Israeli sculptor, one of the founders of the kinetic art movement which Denise René fomented out of her Paris gallery.
As an abstract artist, Cathy has shown in galleries, in Los Angeles, New York City, Haifa, Chicago, among other cities, and has been in both Art Basel and Art Miami. Her acrylics are represented in major collections on both coasts.
Her paintings have been done in series, inspired by electron microscope photography of cellular structures, the Hubble space telescope, Caribbean plants, architecture on the Greek islands of Naxos and Paros, by rocks from the woods behind our house when we lived for many decades in Bedford, New York, and by the marble rocks we brought home from the Paros quarries, which were used
for the construction of the Parthenon, the Medici Venus, the Winged Victory of Samothrace, and Napoleon’s tomb.
The Tippet Rise logo is a skeletal version of one of these rock paintings, which are 12' x 8' and in blue on cream canvas.
