Judy Glantzman is a native New Yorker and graduate of Rhode Island School of Design. Exhibiting since 1983, she first received critical attention for early shows in the East Village at Civilian Warfare and Gracie Mansion, then later with Blum Helman and Hirschl & Adler Modern. Since 2006, she has been represented by the Betty Cuningham Gallery. She has taught at RISD, New York Studio School, MICA, and Purchase College. In 2018 she was artist in residence at Dartmouth College.

Glantzman’s work was honored by the The Dactyl Foundation in NY with a thirty-year retrospective in 2009. Among her numerous awards are a Guggenheim Fellowship, two NY Foundation for the Arts grants, a Pollock Krasner Foundation grant, and a NY Artist Space exhibition grant. Her works are in many collections, including the Whitney Museum and San Francisco Museum of Contemporary Art.

Judy’s 2019 solo show at Betty Cuningham was a forty-year retrospective. It inspired a public interview with art historian Jennifer Samet, later published in Hyperallergic. In speaking about her work, Glantzman said, “I come out of an Abstract Expressionist tradition. The notions of impulse, improvisation, and intuition are at the core of my interests.” In Samet’s words, “Glantzman’s work has a pulsating energy . . in harmony with the way she navigates the world: rapidly, generously, in motion and in conversation. Her paintings and her sculptural objects feel emergent and raw, suggesting unadulterated desire, yearning, and grief.”
