Major exhibitions have been held of her work at the University of Wisconsin–Madison (2002), Denver Art Museum (1994) and Saint Louis Art Museum (1989). ==Life== Pfaff moved to United States at the age of thirteen. She attended the prestigious Cass Technical High School.〔("Judy Pfaff Bard College" ). Plaxo.com.〕 She did her undergraduate work at Washington University and received her Master of Fine Arts degree from Yale University.〔("Judy Pfaff" ). Tandem Press, University of Wisconsin.〕 Pfaff creates paintings, sculpture, prints, and installation art. Of the creation of her work, she says "I’ve always done prints and drawings, always. No one buys those installations, so when you see things that are portable that I’m not attached to, they’re probably two-dimensional. If you get an installation of mine, you inherit (assistant ) Ryan, myself, a crew, the dog, the noise, the dirt. We wreck the house. So if you don’t want that, then you get prints and drawings." Her installation art has been compared to that of "a collagist in space.". Roberta Smith, critic for ''The New York Times'', wrote of Pfaff's work, "she has been creating elaborately impure, implicitly narrative environments for more than 25 years. She is at the top of her form in the airy, exhilarating ''Neither Here Nor There.''" Benjamin Genocchio, also with the ''New York Times'', described several of Pfaff's works undergoing renovation: She has also done scenic design.〔 In 2010 Ameringer/McEnery/Yoke showed a retrospective ranging from the late 1970s to recent work. In a review in ''The Brooklyn Rail'', Kara L. Rooney writes of the survey's cohesion, "somehow, Pfaff’s eclectic interpretation of ’80s flamboyance, ’90s insecurity, and the aughts’ incessant optimism succeeds." Pfaff previously taught at the California Institute of the Arts from 1976 to 1979. She joined the faculty at Bard College in New York in 1994,〔 where she is currently the codirector of the Studio Arts program.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher=Bard College )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Judy Pfaff」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
