Carol Diehl
This series of pastel drawings, begun in 2011, was inspired by the work of early female spiritual artists Hilma af Klint and Emma Kunz. The idea was to “transcend” the everyday world, and to do so while neither inventing nor adopting any special symbolism. Instead Diehl aims for that elevated plane one might call “spiritual” through the use of generic motifs—and nothing could be more generic than the drafting stencils available in any art supply store. Therefore, the drawings represent an attempt to transcend the mundane through the mundane, yet she is hoping because the imagery is so mundane, so ordinary, it may also come across as a bit humorous.
Diehl is an American artist, art critic, and poet. She has contributed features and reviews to numerous periodicals, including Art in America (where she was a longtime Contributing Editor), ARTnews, and Art + Auction, as well as books and artist catalogues—most recent being Olafur Eliasson Studio’s Unspoken Spaces (2016). In 2012 she won a Creative Capital/Andy Warhol Foundation Art Writer’s Grant for her blog, Art Vent. Diehl’s book about the street artist, Banksy, will be published by The MIT Press in late 2020.
In the early 1990s, Diehl was active in Downtown New York's performance poetry scene and has read her work at the Nuyorican Poets Cafe, The Kitchen, and the Poetry Project at St. Mark's Church, among others. She also appeared with Butch Morris's "Chorus of Poets" at The Public Theater, the Whitney Museum, and the Bang on a Can Festival at Lincoln Center. Her poetry is included in the anthology Aloud: Voices from the Nuyorican Poets Cafe (Henry Holt and Company), winner of the 1994 National Book Award and still in print.
Born in Philadelphia and raised in Chicago, Diehl was part of the art scene that flourished in Chicago, exhibiting her work at galleries such as Richard Gray, Roy Boyd, Michael Wyman, Jan Cicero, and N.A.M.E. Gallery, and writing articles and reviews for the New Art Examiner, where she became Managing Editor. During this time, her work was reviewed in the New Art Examiner, the Chicago Sun-Times, the Chicago Tribune, and the Chicago Daily News. In 1976, Diehl moved to New York to work as assistant to John Coplans, then editor of Artforum magazine.
Diehl's work has been shown in one-person exhibitions at, among others, the Berkshire Museum (2011), Gary Snyder Fine Art, (2002), and Hirschl & Adler Modern (1996 and 1998) and in group exhibitions including those at the Queens Museum of Art, the Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum, and the Sidney Janis Gallery.
Reviews of her work have appeared in, among others, Art in America, ARTnews, the New York Times, New York, The Village Voice, and Review. Her work is widely held in corporate collections in New York and Chicago.
Diehl is the recipient of artists' fellowships from the New York Foundation for the Arts and the Pollock-Krasner Foundation, as well as residency fellowships from the MacDowell Colony for the Arts and the Millay Colony for the Arts.
Diehl taught painting and writing in the Graduate Fine Art Program of the School of Visual Arts in New York (1996–2006) and served on the Core Visual Arts faculty at Bennington College (1998-2002). She has been a visiting artist and lecturer at Yale University, Stanford University, Massachusetts College of Art and Design, the University of Iowa, Columbia College Chicago, the Vermont Studio Center, Vermont College of Fine Arts, the Fine Arts Work Center (MA), Rochester Institute of Technology, and the University for the Creative Arts in Canterbury, U.K.; Senior Critic in the University of Pennsylvania Visual Arts Program; and the Forkosh-Hirschman lecturer at Arizona State University..
Diehl lives and works in southwestern Massachusetts.

- Abstract painting listed artist Royal Society Arts Pink Purple Yellow Red AfricaBy Anthony BenjaminLocated in Norfolk, GBAnthony Benjamin, 'Untitled', watercolour and pastel on paper, image size 16.5cm x 23cm, framed size, 27.5cm x 33.75cm, signed and dated 2000 Provenance: From the Artist Estate A Gallery Certificate accompanies the painting Anthony Benjamin was a 20th Century abstract precisionist artist. Born in London in 1931 he was active throughout the second half of the 20th century. Experimental, hugely talented and obsessive, Benjamin moved fluidly between mediums and refused to be tied to any practise. He trained with the best, amongst others with Hayter at Atelier 17 in Paris and was recognised by the Royal Society of the Arts, his pier group and leading Galleries and Institutions who displayed and collected his work. Anthony Benjamin was also daring. At at time when the art-world was fixated with the St Ives Group of artists, Benjamin, who was part of this group, chose to leave. Although adept at making St Ives abstractionism it did not sit naturally with him. He did not see value in its art. Instead he sought to replicate abstraction in nature and was inspired by others who had also mastered this craft such as the Composer Brian Eno, who he later collaborated with and Gnawa musicians of Morocco. A trained engineering draughtsmanship, Benjamins formally perfect artworks are always infused with an air of technical experimentation and a poetic response to the natural world. The artist was inspired by pattern and obsessed with process. He was a sculptor, printmaker, painter, draughtsman and used collage, canvas, brass, perspex, steel, paper and anything that inspired him. Throughout his career, Benjamin made monumental paintings. In the studio he thought, pondered and considered every move. It was during these periods of contemplation that he would make warm up paintings that were beautifully loose and almost the antithesis in process to his large works. However it was in these smaller watercolour paintings...Category
