Noisy Autumn is a career survey of sculpture and works on paper by artist Christy Rupp, bringing together over four decades of her work from the front lines of Eco art since the 1970s. It features 108 color photos of work, and essays by Lucy Lippard, Carlo McCormick, Nina Felshin, and Amy Lipton, and new poems by Bob Holman. The title pays homage to Rachael Carson’s groundbreaking publication Silent Spring on its 60th anniversary.

Christy Rupp’s work originates from an interest in urban ecology and the waste from a Rust Belt stream from where she grew up. She taps into the universal themes of climate change and habitat degradation. Her work has focused on environmental hazards like fracking waste, environmental justice, water quality, and resource extraction. Primarily a sculptor, Christy lives in NY and Saugerties.
