About
Why this artist matters now
Gertrude Greene was an American abstract sculptor and painter who worked in New York City during the mid-twentieth century. Along with her husband Balcomb Greene, she was a founding member of the American Abstract Artists, the organization instrumental in securing institutional and public recognition for abstraction in the United States. Her practice encompassed both sculptural and painted forms developed within the modernist vocabulary of geometric abstraction.
