Early life and education

Joanne Greenbaum was born in 1953, in New York City.[6][7] Greenbaum received her BA degree in 1975 from Bard College, where she studied under the direction of Elizabeth Murray.[6]

Work

Greenbaum has exhibited her artwork internationally at places such as MoMA PS1, the Kusthalle Düsseldorf, the Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art, and the Haus Konstruktiv, among others.[4][8]

Art critic John Yau writes of Greenbuam's process: "Working within a smaller surface area, and in her own words, doing 'just one thing' at a time, Greenbaum paints incrementally, adding a new layer upon whatever preceded it."[2] Greenbaum uses mixed media some of which is not conventional, including oil paint, acrylic paint, magic marker, and others.[9][4] Her paintings have been described as "geological", with each layer forming a distinct strata and she doesn’t remove any of the layers.[2]

Starting in 2004, Greenbaum started to create abstract, small ceramic sculptures after enrolling in a ceramics class at Greenwich House.[10]

Greenbaum received a Guggenheim Fellowship in 2001.[11]
