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.
