Assemblage artist Betye Saar

In recent months 93-year-old artist Betye Saar has been cast in the spotlight, with glowing reviews for major shows at New York City's Museum of Modern Art and at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. Saar's primary art form is assemblage - sculptures made from found items that she pieces together, often addressing spirituality and black oppression - that turn the ordinary into the extraordinary. Correspondent Serna Altschul reports.
