Artist Biography

b.1928
Lynne Drexler was born in 1928 in Newport News, Virginia, and studied art at Hunter College in New York, under the guidance of Robert Motherwell and Hans Hoffman. Their influence, along with that of Matisse, led her to create works layering vibrantly contrasting planes of colour from minute brushstrokes. In 1983, she relocated to an island off the coast of Maine, where the landscapes inspired more figurative, equally brilliant compositions.

Now considered a vanguard of the second-generation abstract expressionists, she was the subject of a solo exhibition titled Lynne Drexler: The First Decade, presented by Mnuchin Gallery in collaboration with Berry Campbell Gallery (US, 2022). Her works are in institutional collections such as the Art Institute of Chicago, the National Gallery of Art, Washington D.C., the Museum of Modern Art, New York. Since 2023, her archive has been represented outside the US by White Cube. A solo retrospective at the Farnsworth Museum in Maine, Lynne Drexler: Color Notes (US, 2024).
