Winifred Johnson Clive Foundation
Distinguished Visiting Painting Fellow
By way of a candy-colored palette, visual stereotypes, and modernist, renaissance, and pornographic aesthetics, Lisa Yuskavage’s paintings address the cultural position of the female body, often deploying exaggerated images to evoke misogynistic impulses and conflicting desires. Venues at which she has had solo exhibitions include the Museo Tamayo Arte Contemporáneo in Mexico City, the Centre d’Art Contemporain in Geneva, and the Institute of Contemporary Art at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia (Pennsylvania, USA). Major group shows include, or are upcoming at, such venues as the Museum Moderner Kunst in Vienna, Museum Kunst Palast in Düsseldorf (Germany), the Frist Center for the Visual Arts in Nashville (Tennessee, USA), and the Phillips Collection in Washington, DC. Her work is collected at such venues as the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, MoMA in New York City, SFMOMA, the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York City, and the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis (Minnesota, USA). Yuskavage earned a BFA at Tyler School of Arts at Temple University and an MFA at Yale University School of Art.
