J. Morgan Puett (born 1957) is a conceptual installation artist. Her childhood reminiscence of home life in rural Georgia flavors many aspects of her work, which straddle the lines of fashion, architecture, and fine art. The daughter of a third generation beekeeper and painter respectively, Morgan’s work focuses on clothing design/textile and costume history as well as the recreation of milieus that recollect her well-worn southern rural heritage; the subject of her store on East 5th Street, Broome Street, and Wooster Street in New York, NY. Puett launched her career with the creation of her own designer label (J. Morgan Puett) and accompanying Soho (NY) retail fashion house. She has been featured, among others in New York Magazine, W, Harpers Bazaar, Art Forum, and Art in America, World of Interiors, and I.D., The New York Times. Puett is the recipient of a Pew Fellowship in the Arts. Her work has been exhibited at the Fabric Workshop and Museum of Philadelphia; PA, Wave Hill; Bronx, NY, Spoleto USA in Charleston; SC, the Tate, the Serpentine Gallery and Victoria and Albert Museum in London, and Mass Moca in North Adams, Massachusetts.
