Lila Katzen
Lila Katzen (30 December 1925, in Brooklyn, NY – 20 September 1998, in New York, NY), born Lila Pell, was an American sculptor of fluid, large-scale metal abstractions.
==Education and early work==
Katzen attended Cooper Union and later studied under Hans Hofmann in New York and Provincetown, MA. Her first solo exhibition was held at the Baltimore Museum of Art in 1955, when she was still a painter. Later Katzen had solo exhibitions at the Montgomery Museum of Art in Alabama and the Ulrich Museum of Art in Kansas among others. In 1962, Katzen accepted a position at the Maryland Institute, College of Art, where she remained until 1980.
Lila Katzen was discouraged from continuing her study of sculpture by her professor at Cooper Union, who told her that she must be a painter because she “wanted things to happen too quickly”〔Nemser, p. 205.〕 Katzen’s paintings were abstract, semi-figurative works, in which she took certain aspects from the figure and related them to a spatial concept. As she developed her skills in painting, Katzen began to look for a challenge by experimenting with different, more sculptural kinds of painting. She progressed from collages on canvas, to staining nylon canvases. Eventually, feeling restricted by even the semi-transparent nylon, Katzen started to paint on acrylic sheets in the late 1950s.〔Nemser, p. 210.〕
Acrylic paintings allowed Katzen to make a transition into sculpture. She experimented with fluorescent paints and backlights, using light as a medium in itself.〔Nemser, pp. 213-216.〕 In ''The Pressure Light'', Katzen discovered that light was more complex when it could interact with the environment. This led her to begin to explore the duality of light being confined within the boundary of the piece and simultaneously explaining beyond its boundaries and including the spectator in the art itself.〔Nemser, p. 216.〕
