Born in England, she has lived in the United States since the age of 13. Her educational achievements include a BFA from Washington University in St. Louis, MO, awarded in 1971, and an MFA from Yale University in 1973. One significant influence on Pfaff's artistic style was Al Held (American, 1928–2005), an Expressionist painter who taught at Yale while Pfaff was earning her MFA. Her Installation Art pieces are displayed in numerous prestigious art museums throughout the United States and abroad. The Italians, a collection of Abstract sculptures made of wood, metal, and enamel, is on display at the Detroit Institute of Arts. Another notable piece, ..... all of the above, explores issues of creativity and the complexity of life by using strings, vines, spheres, and other objects arranged in a seemingly haphazard way. Pfaff's work is not restricted to Installation Art pieces. Her other notable works include Botanica, a mixed media on paper piece owned by the Orlando Museum of Art and Imperial Hotel, a relief print using the intaglio technique owned by the Tampa Museum of Art. Pfaff is the holder of several notable awards recognizing her artistic merit. Major recognitions include the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur foundation award (2004), a fellowship from the National Endowment for the Arts (1986), and a Guggenheim Memorial Foundation fellowship (1983). She was elected to become a member of the American Academy of Arts in 2009. Pfaff has worked at Bard College since 1994, spending some of her time coordinating the school's program in studio arts. She continues to produce works for sale, which are available from notable dealers such as the Peltz Gallery in Milwaukee, WI, and the J. Johnson Gallery in Jacksonville Beach, FL. She also continues to produce works for exhibitions. A significant recent project at the Bellas Artes Gallery in Santa Fe, NM, is entitled Twenty Years at Bellas Artes and showcases the sophistication of Pfaff's work in Installation Art. She currently lives and works in New York.

  • Rock Candy Mountain (unique, signed Abstract Expressionist painting)
    By Ben Wilson
    Located in New York, NY
    Ben Wilson Rock Candy Mountain, ca. 1970 Oil on masonite board (Hand Signed, titled and dated) Hand signed, titled and dated by Ben Wilson on the back Frame Included: held in artist's original vintage 1970 wood frame This stunning painting with candy colors is done by the second generation Abstract Expressionist artist Ben Wilson - one of the youngest artists to be given a show at prestigious ACA Gallery in 1940. In 2017, he was the subject of a career retrospective at the George Segal Gallery at Montclair State University from September 6 to November 4 and it was accompanied by a catalogue. Measurements: Frame: 23.5 x 47.5 x 1 inch Artwork: 25 x 49 inches About Ben Wilson: Ben Wilson was born in Philadelphia in 1913 to Jewish parents who had emigrated from Kiev and settled in New York City. He was educated in Manhattan public schools and graduated from City College in 1935. To gain exposure to a wider range of styles, he also studied at the National Academy of Design and at the Educational Alliance. Admired by critics throughout his long career, Wilson was singled out as a “discovery” by the New York Times art critic Edward Alden Jewel even before his first one-man show at the Galerie Neuf in 1946. His paintings of the ’30s and ’40s were expressionistically rendered, often Biblical parables, filled with what he called “the grief of the intolerable” and reflecting an acute awareness of the agony of the time, from the Holocaust to the Spanish Civil War. A WPA artist who identified strongly with the plight of the Jews in Europe, he relentlessly explored themes of war, torment, and futility in his early decades of painting. When times changed and social pressures subsided, Wilson’s mood lifted. He spent 1952-54 in Paris working at the Academie Julien. During the ’50s his involvement with specific imagery persisted but became more psychological and mythic in orientation. Influenced by Cubism, he created a vocabulary of interlocking shapes and bold, sweeping gestures that served as a transition between his early figurative expressionism and his later abstract constructivist concerns. Towards the end of the decade Wilson reached a crossroads, moving towards abstraction and searching for what he called “a scaffolding under the externals.” By 1960, influenced by the Russian Constructivists, Mondrian, and Abstract Expressionism, Wilson turned to abstraction. Reexamining the basic elements of painting, he evolved his own personal vocabulary and structure, fusing the cerebral and the emotive. He became increasingly experimental, using house paint, sand, and other unorthodox materials in paintings that he worked from all directions, dripping, spraying, stenciling, and collaging. He employed elements of disjunction, repetitions of geometric motifs, linear networks, and complex overlays to create the transparent, multi-layer development of space that characterizes his later paintings. A consummate draftsman, Wilson filled notebook after notebook with drawings that he amplified in his paintings. Eschewing popular movements, Wilson was always one to pursue a personal aesthetic. Despite more than 30 one-man shows and 50 years of teaching, he increasingly withdrew from the gallery scene but continued to paint daily until his death at age 88 in 2001 in Blairstown, New Jersey, where he and his sculptor wife Evelyn Wilson...
