More about Josephine Halvorson
Josephine Halvorson makes art from direct observation, foregrounding the firsthand experience of noticing, describing, and learning from the physical world. She works primarily in painting, but also in sculpture and printmaking.
She received her MFA from Columbia University in 2007, her BFA from The Cooper Union in 2003, and attended Yale Norfolk in 2002. She is the recipient of several international residencies and fellowships, including a US Fulbright to Vienna, Austria; the Harriet Hale Woolley Award at the Fondation des États-Unis in Paris, France; the first American pensionnaire at the French Academy in Rome at the Villa Medici; and the John Simon Guggenheim Fellowship. Her work is represented by Sikkema Malloy Jenkins, NY, and Peter Freeman, Paris. She has presented work internationally at such institutions as the Storm King Art Center, the ICA Boston, and the Havana Biennale. In 2021 she presented a solo exhibition of site responsive work at the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum in Santa Fe, NM, where she was the Museum’s first artist in residence. Her work and practice have been written about widely in online and print periodiccals such as The Brooklyn Rail, Frieze, ArtForum, and Hyperallergic. Halvorson is a subject of Art21’s documentary series New York Close Up. Since 2016, she has been Professor of Art and Chair of Graduate Studies in Painting at Boston University. She has also taught at The Skowhegan School of Painting & Sculpture, The Cooper Union, Princeton University, the University of Tennessee Knoxville, Columbia University, and Yale University.
