Sharon Gold (born February 28, 1949) is an American artist[1] and associate professor of painting at Syracuse University.[2] Gold's artwork has been installed at MoMA PS1,[3] Dia Art Foundation,[4] Carnegie Mellon University,[5] Rose Art Museum at Brandeis University,[6] Everson Museum of Art, and Princeton University Art Museum.[7] She was a fellow at MacDowell Colony. Gold's work has been reviewed by Arthur Danto,[8] Donald Kuspit,[9] Ken Johnson,[10] and Stephen Westfall[11] in a variety of publications from Artforum to the New York Times, New York Magazine, Arts Magazine, Art News, and many others. She also taught at Princeton University, Pratt Institute, Virginia Commonwealth University, University of Texas at San Antonio, San Francisco Art Institute, and the Tyler School of Art. Gold received a National Endowment for the Arts fellowship and wrote for Re-View Magazine, M/E/A/N/I/N/G/S, and Artforum. Her artwork spans across minimalism, monochromatic abstraction, geometric abstraction, and representational painting and is conceptually informed by structuralism, existential formalism, and feminist theory.
