About the Artist
Judy Pfaff Sculptor (b.1946)
"I can't believe how good this molding rubber feels! ... I'm sorry I can't stop moving my fingers."
Judy Pfaff, born in London, studied at Yale University, where she received her MFA in 1973. Pfaff, often revered as a pioneer of installation art, is a visionary of space and color.
Pfaff's impressive repertoire includes representing the United States in the São Paulo Biennial (1998), the Lifetime Achievement Award from the International Sculpture Center (2014), the MacArthur Foundation Award (2004), and the Guggenheim Fellowship (1983).
Her sprawling installations craft an immersive environment that juxtapose the industrial with the natural, using a variety of materials like steel, wire, and found objects within each unique work.
