About the Item

Melissa Miller Untitled (Fossil), 1998 4 color lithograph on paper Hand signed and numbered 74/100 in pencil on the lower right front 28 1/2 × 21 inches Unframed Melissa Miller’s paintings are recognizable for their detailed portrayal of animals and the violence of the natural world. In compositions that range from landscapes crowded with figures in the style of Old Master history painting to surreal individual portraits, Miller contends with the strange and the mundane alike, employing her distinctly fantastical yet incisive vision. Miller has shown her artwork extensively throughout the country, including exhibitions at the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Washington, D.C.; the Brooklyn Museum of Art, Brooklyn, New York; The Albright Knox Art Gallery, Buffalo, New York; the New Orleans Museum of Art, New Orleans, Louisiana; the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, San Francisco, California; The New Museum, New York, New York; the Corcoran Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.; the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, Texas; the Contemporary Arts Museum, Houston, Texas; The Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, Texas; and the Dallas Museum of Art, Texas. Miller represented the United States for the 41st Biennale di Venezia and has also exhibited in the prestigious Whitney Biennial. Among her many honors, Miller has been the recipient of three individual Artist Fellowships from the National Endowments for the Arts (NEA), as well as awards from the Anonymous Was a Woman Foundation, the Dallas Museum of Art, The Art League of Houston, the Dallas Visual Arts Association, and the National Council of Arts Administrators. In addition, she was named “Texas State Artist of the Year” in 2011 by the Texas State Legislature. Miller’s paintings are featured in many public collections, such as the Albright-Knox Gallery, Buffalo, New York; the Dallas Museum of Art, Texas; The Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, Texas; the Blanton Museum of Art, Austin, Texas; The Contemporary Museum, Honolulu, Hawaii; the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, Texas; the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, California; The National Museum of Women in the Arts, Washington, D.C.; the El Paso Museum of Art, Texas; the Orland Museum of Art, Florida; Sweet Briar College, Virginia; and the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Washington, D.C.
