Howardena Pindell (b. 1943, Philadelphia, PA; lives in New York, NY) is an artist, educator, art historian, and curator known for addressing race, social issues, and collective memory while exploring abstraction through painting. Untitled illustrates Pindell’s innovative approach to her medium: Here, a hole punch is employed as a mark-making tool, challenging traditional notions of painting. In 2018, the MCA curated the major retrospective Howardena Pindell: What Remains to Be Seen, and Pindell’s work is in the MCA Collection and more than forty other globally renowned collections. Pindell cofounded A.I.R. Gallery, New York, the first all-female artist cooperative in the United States. Her solo exhibitions include presentations at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; Baltimore Museum of Art; and the Shed, New York. Her various accolades include the Studio Museum in Harlem Artist Award, a Joan Mitchell Painting Award, and a Guggenheim Fellowship.
