Judith Shea

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Judith Shea (born 1948, Philadelphia, PA) is an American-born sculptor. She is best known for a series of works in bronze in which she creates empty clothing forms which suggest figures that are not present; some of her more recent work incorporates figures as well.

Shea studied art at the Parsons School of Design and graduated with a BFA in 1969.^[1] In 1994 she was granted a fellowship which allowed her to work at the American Academy in Rome and study the work of Gian Lorenzo Bernini and Michelangelo, among others. Her work may be found in numerous museums, including the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in Washington, D.C., the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and the Museum of Modern Art in New York City.
