Jennifer Bartlett
° 1943
Lives in Long Beach (United States).
Jennifer Bartlett emerged in the 1970s as one of the leading American artists of her time, and one of the first female painters of her generation to be both commercially successful and critically influential. When her monumental painting, Rhapsody, was first shown in 1976, it was regarded as a “tour de force postmodern pastiche” of the history of modern art. Over the course of her 50-year career, Bartlett has become known for her process-oriented, abstract works that offer viewers challenging and inventive narratives. Bartlett’s work resides in public collections around the world, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago; the Philadelphia Museum of Art; the Israel Museum, Jerusalem; the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Tokyo; Tate Modern, London; the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; and the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts.
