Hear from Gunderson as she delves into her practice and talks about her work on view in Looking Forward: New Gifts of Art. \nSeating for this event is first come\, first served. Artist Talks are included with Museum admission and are free for Members. Admission tickets are available at the door or online. \nThe Artist Talk series welcomes emerging\, mid-career\, and established artists \nAbout the Artist \nKaren Gunderson is known for her striking black paintings that transform the traditional use of black pigment into luminous\, textured imagery. Working exclusively with black paint since the late 1980s\, she has developed a distinctive technique that uses subtle brushwork and layering to create works that shift with light and viewer movement. Her subjects range from landscapes and water to portraits and celestial forms. Gunderson holds an MFA in Intermedia from the University of Iowa—the first awarded in the U.S.—and spent much of her career in New York City\, exhibiting with Fischbach Gallery and connecting with artists like Sol LeWitt and Elaine de Kooning. She has shown internationally\, with solo exhibitions at the Racine Art Museum\, National Museum of Bahrain\, and in Madrid. A recipient of the 2020 Anonymous Was A Woman Award\, Gunderson’s work is held in the collections of the MFA Houston\, Milwaukee Art Museum\, and others. \n
