Catalogue Note

For Jeanne Siegel, the art world was home – the artists she interviewed and wrote about and the students and faculty she guided and inspired at both the New School and the School of Visual Arts were family. Only the most voracious appetite for art could sustain the focus with which Jeanne approached a decades-long engagement with some of the most influential artists of the 20th century and the theories that buoyed their work. Between 1966 when her first major article appeared in Art News magazine and 1999, when her last book and labor of love, Painting After Pollock: Structures of Influence was published, Jeanne explored a broad swath of art history, from Abstract Expressionism and Color Field painting through Pop, Conceptualism and the Pictures Generation. Possessing seemingly endless energies, Jeanne’s legacy traversed art criticism and curatorial practice, and inspired debate, friendships and mentorships.
