Harmony Hammond

2025 Milestone Grantee

Bio

Harmony Hammond, artist, educator, writer, and independent curator was a leading figure in the development of the feminist art movement in New York in the early 1970s. Her earliest feminist work combined gender politics with post-minimal concerns of materials and process, frequently occupying a space between painting and sculpture – a focus that continues to this day. Hammond’s work is represented by Alexander Gray Associates, NYC, where she has had six solo exhibitions. In 2019, the Aldrich Museum presented Harmony Hammond: Material Witness, Fifty Years of Art. Recent exhibitions include: Woven Histories: Textiles and Modern Abstraction, MoMA, NYC; the 2024 Whitney Biennial; and Unravel: The Power and Politics of Textiles in Art at the Barbican, London and the Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam.
