Sharon Gilbert (1944–2005) was a New York-based artist whose work included sculpture, collage, and art books. Her art employs information from print media and photocopy techniques to create socially critical content in her artwork, often from a feminist point of view. Focuses of her work include nuclear radiation poisoning, environmental pollution, chemical warfare, and police brutality. Her most noted work is A Nuclear Atlas (1982) published by the Women's Studio Workshop.[1]

Gilbert's work has been exhibited at venues including the Brooklyn Museum,[2][3] Museum of Modern Art,[4] Yale University Art Gallery,[5] Printed Matter,[6] the Center for Book Arts,[7] Centre Pompidou,[1] and Harvard Art Museums,[8][9] among others.[1]
