Lois Dodd (b. 1927) studied at The Cooper Union in the late 1940s. In 1952 she was
one of the five founding members of the Tanager Gallery on Tenth Street, one of the first artist run galleries in New York, where her work was shown for ten years. Dodd is an elected member
of the American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters and the National Academy of Design.
Since 1954 her work has been the subject of 50 one-person exhibitions. In 2005 she was honored by the Cooper Union with the Augustus St. Gaudens Alumni Award.
This exhibition will be accompanied by a 60 page illustrated catalogue, which will include a recent interview with the artist.
