Born in 1952, the world-renowned American sculptor Rona Pondick received her MFA from the Yale University School of Art in 1977. Exhibiting for over 35 years, her work has been collected by more than 50 institutions worldwide, including the Whitney Museum of American Art, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, and Centre Pompidou. Pondick has been the recipient of numerous prestigious awards and grants. In 2013, working in pigmented resin, acrylic, and modeling compound, Pondick began a series of sculptures that were inspired by Kafka, mythology, and ancient art, centering on her personal experience of the fragility of the body. Pondick’s extraordinary craftsmanship perfectly merges different media, while leaving visible and expressive traces of hand sculpting.
