Jennifer Bartlett (née Losch) was born in 1941 in California. Bartlett received her BA from Mills College, in Oakland, California, and then pursued an MFA at the Yale School of Art and Architecture. There she studied with the likes of Josef Albers and Richard Serra, and graduated in 1965 at the height of minimalism. Throughout her career, Bartlett was adamant not to be confined within a specific style, and her work crosses boundaries of conceptualism, abstraction, figurative work, and Neo-expressionism. Bartlett’s most famous piece titled “Rhapsody” is a large-scale collection of enamel painted steel tiles from 1975 to 1976. Her art has been exhibited amongst the most notorious museums including the Walker Art Center, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Tate Modern, and the Whitney Museum of American Art. She was represented by the Marianne Boesky Gallery as well as the Paula Cooper Gallery until her passing in 2022.
