Join Katherine Bradford at the printmaking studio of Harlan & Weaver for a conversation exploring her creative process, hands-on printmaking demonstrations, and an opportunity to explore various states of the new editions created in collaboration with master printer Felix Harlan.
Katherine Bradford awes critics with her deft mark making, direct capture of painted emotion and the materiality of feeling - the distinct voice of her presence rendered in gesture. Bradford builds forms through thin washes of broad brushstrokes, inventing layered colorfields and figures who are almost deity-like in space, alive in the world of creation. Emerging with a glow, they exist as community and as composition.
She has had recent solo shows at Canada, her gallery in New York, and at Kaufman Repetto in Milan and Tomio Koyama in Tokyo, and two person shows at Matthew Brown in LA and at the Carpenter Center at Harvard. Group shows include David Zwirner in New York, Pilar Corrias in London, and the FLAG Art Foundation in New York. In 2022, she had a survey show at the Portland Museum of Art in Maine which traveled to the Frye Museum in Seattle, Washington.
She served as a Senior Critic for the Yale MFA program (2016-2017), was a resident faculty at Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture in Maine (2009) and on the MFA faculty of the Pennsylvania Academy of Art in Philadelphia (1997-2012).
In 2011, she was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship and in 2012, she received a Joan Mitchell Foundation Grant.
Her work is included in the collections of The Metropolitan Museum of Art; the Brooklyn Museum; the Aïshti Collection in Beirut, Lebanon; the Cantor Art Center at Stanford University; Dallas Museum of Art in Texas; the ICA in Boston; the Musée d’Art Moderne in Paris; the Menil Foundation in Houston, Texas; and the Rubell Family Collection in Miami, Florida.
