Judy Pfaff
Object Label:
Show Object Label(s)Judy Pfaff’s (b. 1946 London,
American) multimedia work defies
categorization and is inextricably
bound to abstraction. Studying with
the pioneering expressionist Al Held in
Yale School of Art in the early 1970s,
Pfaff abstained from dominant art styles
such as Minimalism, and began making
bold and visually active environments.
She describes her approach as “a kind
of editing and splicing of [a] complex
freneticism.” This energy resides in
Pfaff’s works on paper that weave formal
and organic compositional elements, as
in the woodcut Squash (1986).
