Judy Ledgerwood
Confronting
the traditions of modernist painting, Judy Ledgerwood uses color as the primary
agent to question the conventions of painting. Early in her career, Ledgerwood
began incorporating traditionally feminine pastel colors into her paintings in
an attempt to challenge and undermine the historically male-dominated tradition
of abstract painting. Today her compositions include circular motifs typically
associated with the decorative arts tradition and the pastel palette has been
replaced in favor of more optically stimulating hues. Ledgerwood is the
recipient of a The Richard H. Driehaus Foundation Award, an Artadia Award, a
Tiffany Award in the Visual Arts, a National Endowment for the Arts Award, and
an Illinois Art Council Award. Her work is represented in public collections
including the Art Institute of Chicago, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the
Museum of Contemporary Art Los Angeles, the Milwaukee Museum of Art, and the
Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago among others. Her work is represented
by Hausler Contemporary Munich & Zurich, 1301PE Los Angeles, Tracy Williams
Ltd. New York and Rhona Hoffman Gallery Chicago. Her degrees are from the Art
Academy of Cincinnati, BFA, and the School of the Art Institute of Chicago,
MFA.
