ABOUT MARILYN
HENRION
Born in 1932 in New
York City, Marilyn Henrion is a graduate of Cooper Union who
is represented in the Smithsonian Institution’s Archives of American Art. Her
textile-based works are included in five major museums and numerous corporate,
government and private collections internationally.
As a life-long New
Yorker, the artist’s aesthetic vision has always been deeply rooted in the
urban geometry of her surroundings, from the earlier geometric abstractions to
the more recent mixed media works. She is particularly interested in the
co-existence of past and present, especially in architecture and other man-made
structures. The presence of the human hand upon the landscape expresses our
eternal yearning for immortality, evidence that says, “I was once here”.
The meticulous handwork that animates the surfaces and characterizes her work
echoes that idea. Much as Edward Hopper did in the 20th century, she
synthesizes and transforms the “facts” of the material world to reflect her experience of a
particular place.
Her work has also
been featured in numerous publications, including “Women Designers In The U.S.-
1900-2000”, published in 2001 by Yale University Press. Among the grants she
has received, was one awarded in 1996 by The Artslink Partnership, devoted to
fostering excellence in the arts between the U.S. and countries of the former
Soviet Union. In 2005, she was awarded a Fellowship by the New York
Foundation for the Arts. She is represented in the Smithsonian Institution's
Archives of American Art.
