Biography
Born in 1950, Mira Schor is a New York-based artist and writer noted for her advocacy of painting in a post-medium visual culture and for her contributions to feminist art history. She was a member of the CalArts Feminist Art Program and a participant in the historical feminist art installation Womanhouse. Schor’s work balances political and theoretical concerns with formalist and material passions. Her work is mostly focused on gendered narrative and representation of the body but also on representation of language in drawing and painting. The central theme in recent paintings is the experience of living in a moment of radical inequality, austerity, and accelerated time, set against the powerful pull of older notions of time, craft, and visual pleasure.
Schor received her MFA in painting from CalArts in 1973. Schor’s work has been included in exhibitions at June (2021), Kunsthaus Graz (2020), Kestner Gesellschaft (2019), The Jewish Museum (2010), Hammer Museum (1996) and P.S.1 (1992). She is the recipient of awards in painting from the Guggenheim, Rockefeller Foundation, Marie Walsh Sharpe, Pollock-Krasner Foundation and of the College Art Association’s Frank Jewett Mather Award in Art Criticism. She is the recipient of the 2019 Women’s Caucus for Art Lifetime Achievement Award for her work as a feminist painter, art historian and critic.
She is represented by Lyles & King Gallery in New York City.
