One of the most influential American artists of the latter half of the
twentieth century, Lois Dodd attended Cooper Union in New York. She was one
of the original founders of Tananger Gallery where she exhibited until 1962,
when she joined Green Mountain Gallery and then Fischbach Gallery, where she
exhibited regularly from 1978 through 2001. In addition to her New York
exhibitions, over a long and distinguished career, she has had regional and
national shows including at Montclair Art Museum, Farnsworth Art Museum,
Trenton City Museum, New Jersey Art Museum, Lyman Allen Art Museum, Colby
College, American Academy of Arts and Letters, National Academy of Design,
Southern Alleghenies Museum of Art, Maine Coast Artists Gallery, Rahr-West
Museum, Indiana University Art Museum, Maine State Museum, Museum of Art of
Ogunquit, Maine, the Hudson River Museum and others too many to enumerate.She is an elected member of the American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters and the National Academy of Design. Her work is in the collections of Brooklyn College, Colby College, Cooper-Hewitt Museum, Farnsworth Art Museum, National Academy of Design, the Hood Museum, the Ogunquit Museum, the Wadsworth Museum and the Whitney Museum of American Art. 
She is currently represented by
Alexandre Gallery in New York, where she had
a significant show of small paintings in December 2003, and a complementary
one at the Studio School. Writing in the New York Times, Ken Johnson says,
“Ms. Dodd’s two exhibitions of small panel paintings-several landscapes at Alexandre Gallery and outdoor nudes at the New York Studio School-bring two
forms of life infectiously together: that of the airy, color-and
light-struck world and that of brusquely sensuous paint.” |
