2017 Grant Recipient Spotlight: Judith Braun
Judith Braun, a.k.a. Weinman, or Weinperson, began as a realistic figurative painter in the 1980’s, and has periodically reinvented her art practice and persona. In the 1990’s, as Weinperson, she produced enlarged Xerox works, and was included in the “Bad Girls” show at the New Museum of Contemporary Art (@newmuseum).
Now, as Braun, she makes intricate abstract drawings, both small graphite on paper and large charcoal fingerprinted walls. The latter are site-specific ephemeral installations that have been subject of solo and group exhibitions in New York City, and throughout the US and Europe. They are sometimes executed live, for the public. She is featured in the recent documentary, “More Art Upstairs.” Braun was born in Albany, New York in 1947, and has lived and worked on the Lower East Side in New York City for many years.
