Dannielle Tegeder is a contemporary artist who works with installation, animation and sound and is best known for her abstract paintings and drawings. [1] She lives in Brooklyn, New York and maintains a studio at The Elizabeth Foundation in Times Square, Manhattan.
Tegeder was born in Peekskill, New York. She received her BFA from the State University of New York at Purchase, and an MFA in Painting and Drawing from The Art Institute of Chicago. Tegeder’s work employs strategies connected to Post-Minimalism and Twentieth-Century abstraction, often utilizing mathematical, architectural or demographic data to produce an ever-evolving visual vocabulary. Her work is influenced by the mechanical drawings she observed as a child growing up in a family of steam fitters. [2]
Tegeder's work is mainly abstract paintings and drawings and in recent years has expanded to include installation, [3] wall drawings, and sound. She has had solo gallery exhibitions, both nationally and internationally in Paris, Houston, Los Angeles, Berlin, Chicago, [4] and New York. She has participated in numerous group exhibitions at various museums such as PS1/MoMA, The New Museum of Contemporary Art, [5] The Brooklyn Museum of Art, and Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago.
She has been the recipient of many residencies and grants, including Yaddo, the Pollock-Krasner Foundation, SmackMellon Studio Program, and the Marie Walsh Sharpe Studio Fellowship. In 2011, she was an artist in residence on Governor's Island as part of the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council's Swing Space program. She has been a visiting artist at Cornell University, RISD, Pratt Institute, San Francisco Art Institute, Princeton University, Purchase College and others. She is currently an associate professor at Lehman College in the City University of New York.
In 2013 Tegeder will have her first major museum survey at the Wellin Museum of Art, at Hamilton College. A fully illustrated hardcover catalog will accompany the exhibition with essays by Barry Schwabsky, and Claire Gilman, the curator from the Drawing Center in NYC.
Her works are in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art, the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, and The Weatherspoon Museum of Art in Greensboro, NC.

Agnes Bernice Martin was an American abstract painter known for her minimalist style and abstract expressionism. Born in Canada, she moved to the United States in 1931, where she pursued higher education and eventually became a U.S. citizen in 1950. Martin's artistic journey began in New York City, where she immersed herself in modern art and developed a deep interest in abstraction. Despite often being labeled a minimalist, she identified more with abstract expressionism. Her work has been defined as an "essay in discretion on inward-ness and silence".
Amy Sillman is a New York-based visual artist, known for process-based paintings that move between abstraction and figuration, and engage nontraditional media including animation, zines and installation. Her work draws upon art historical tropes, particularly postwar American gestural painting, as both influences and foils; she engages feminist critiques of the discourses of mastery, genius and power in order to introduce qualities such as humor, awkwardness, self-deprecation, affect and doubt into her practice. Profiles in The New York Times, ARTnews, Frieze, and Interview, characterize Sillman as championing "the relevance of painting" and "a reinvigorated mode of abstraction reclaiming the potency of active brushwork and visible gestures." Critic Phyllis Tuchman described Sillman as "an inventive abstractionist" whose "messy, multivalent, lively" art "reframes long-held notions regarding the look and emotional character of abstraction."
Dorothea Rockburne DFA is an abstract painter, drawing inspiration primarily from her deep interest in mathematics and astronomy. Her work is geometric and abstract, seemingly simple but very precise to reflect the mathematical concepts she strives to concretize. "I wanted very much to see the equations I was studying, so I started making them in my studio," she has said. "I was visually solving equations." Rockburne's attraction to Mannerism has also influenced her work.

In 2012, Jones was the recipient of the Joyce Alexander Wien Prize, one of the biggest awards given to an individual artist in the United States.
