Carol Bruns: I graduated NYU in 1966, then attended the Art Students League and l’Academie de La Grande Chaumiere, Paris, 1967-8. My first exhibition was in 1975 at OK Harris Gallery in NYC where I showed small-sized wall works with a sculptural shape and colored plaster. I participated in many exhibitions in Soho 1975-1994. In 1976-77 artist Robert Jacks and I organized a community project to assemble artists’ xeroxed drawings, assembled into books and bound, called Artist’s Pages.
In 2001 I received a printmaking fellowship at the Women’s Studio Workshop, and was a guest artist at the Caraccio Etching Studio. In 2013 I was interviewed by Gorky’s Granddaughter in a video. Continuing to show in New York and Atlanta, I received numerous commissions from New York designers including bronze tables photographed in Architectural Digest 2020. My most recent exhibitions were at Courtside Gallery, Knoxville, 2019, Tiger Strikes Asteroid NY 2019, The Parlour Bushwick in 2015, Sculpture Space in Long Island City, SRO Gallery in Brooklyn in 2017-18, and Zurcher Gallery 2022.
In 2021 my review on Louise Bourgeois’s exhibition at the Jewish Museum was published by artcritical.com and my review of Jacqueline de Jong’s painting was published by d’Art International in 2022.
