Maren Hassinger
2025 Milestone Grantee
MAREN HASSINGER has built an interdisciplinary practice that articulates the relationship between nature and humanity. Carefully choosing materials for their innate characteristics, Hassinger has explored the subject of movement, family, love, nature, environment, consumerism, identity, and race. The artist is currently the subject of a two person exhibition with Senga Nengudi at IVAM Valencia and will be honored with a retrospective in 2026 at the Berkeley Art Museum. Hassinger is the recipient of the Women’s Caucus for the Arts Lifetime Achievement Award. Her work can be found in the collections of the Art Institute of Chicago; Guggenheim Museum; Hirshhorn Museum; the LA County Museum of Art; Museum of Modern Art; San Francisco Museum of Art; and Walker Art Center, among others.
