Joan Mitchell
American, 1925–1992

With her lively, gestural explosions of color and form, Joan Mitchell solidified her place in the predominantly masculine Abstract Expressionist movement that emerged in mid-century New York. The artist’s epic, large-scale abstractions feature all-over gestural brushwork and bold color palettes that hint at their original source material: Landscapes, sunflowers, and the natural world were favorite motifs. While Mitchell spent her early career in New York, she eventually moved to the French countryside, where her work incorporated palettes and shapes that reflected the pastoral setting. Mitchell received both her BFA and her MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago before going on to exhibit in New York, Paris, Milan, Los Angeles, and beyond. Her work belongs in the collections of the Art Institute of Chicago, the Centre Pompidou, the National Gallery of Art, the Museum of Modern Art, the Tate, and the Whitney Museum of American Art, among others. Her work has sold for eight figures at auction.
