Judith Linhares, 2021. Photo by Amanda Marie Mason
Rooted in the California Bay Area counterculture of the 60s and 70s, Judith Linhares (b. 1940) composes folkloric, figurative paintings from confident, abstract brushwork, utilizing broad strokes and brilliant fields of color to gradually develop her subjects. Harnessing portentous yet quotidian symbols, her uniquely irradiant paintings celebrate the female body and communal experience. Fueled by the permissive, psychedelic atmosphere of the 1960s, Linhares continues to investigate the relationship between the conscious and unconscious – her dreams often providing her work with their mythic narratives, characters, and kaleidoscopic compositions that pulsate with color. Linhares earned her BFA and MFA degrees from California College of Arts and Crafts in Oakland, CA. Her work is in the permanent collections of the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, NY; the Smithsonian American Art Museum, Washington, DC; San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, San Francisco, CA; Yale University Art Gallery, New Haven, CT; the de Young Museum, San Francisco, CA; and the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art, Philadelphia, PA, among others. Judith Linhares: The Artist as Curator, an exhibition featuring five decades of work, was presented at the Sarasota Art Museum, FL, in winter 2022. The exhibition included a curated presentation of works by Bill Adams, Ellen Berkenblit, Karin Davie, Dona Nelson, and Mary Jo Vath, highlighting the longstanding influence of dialogue between artists. Linhares’ second solo exhibition at P·P·O·W, Banshee Sunrise, opened in April 2022. Linhares presented Honey in the Rock, her first solo exhibition at Massimo de Carlo, London, UK, in spring 2023. In November 2023, Linhares presented a collection of rarely seen works from the 1970s in Love Letters from San Jose, her first exhibition at Parker Gallery, Los Angeles, CA.

With two weeks worth of art fairs in New York, from Independent to Frieze, the city is about to add one more, a new initiative called That ’70s Show.
Few artists have had as much of an impact on representational painting as Judith Linhares. For the years between MarciaTucker’s “Bad” Painting (1978) at the New Museum and Linhares’s inclusion in Frieze by Anglim Gilbert Gallery in 2018, she was a painter well-known by other figurative painters and the generations of students she taught at the School of Visual Arts, but her gallery representation didn’t properly reflect her influence.
Want to see new art in New York this weekend? Start on the Upper East Side with Evelyn Statsinger’s enthralling paintings at Gray New York. Then head to Chelsea for a rare chance to see Michaël Borremans’s work at David Zwirner.- And don’t miss Tommy Malekoff’s indelible video images shot in the Everglades.
In the past few years, Tribeca has seen a resurgence as New York galleries depart districts like Chelsea and the Lower East Side for new digs, making this neighborhood one of the go-to spots for art in the city. A heady brew of art enterprises has formed as a result: relatively young art spaces now exist side-by-side with Tribeca veterans like Postmasters Gallery and apexart, and edgy shows by artists on the rise can be found just blocks from ones by more established talent.
Women inhabit their bodies on their own terms in Judith Linhares’s paintings, rendered in the color-loaded, wet-into-wet strokes of the artist’s signature wide brush.
Visual art that nobody sees is like a tree falling in a forest that nobody hears. That makes for a great Zen koan. But it doesn’t make an impact. Art’s an experience, not an idea. Sarasota Art Museum’s curators know that – and strive to put art in front of human eyeballs.
Linhares is one of the 13 artists in the Adult Contemporary exhibit Futurephilia, currently on view at Main Street Gallery
The American painter renders flamboyant still-lifes and fantastic scenes of a mythic all-women realm with the same loaded-brush force.
From Vincent Fecteau’s killer cats to Aki Sasamoto’s barroom tricks, a selection of exhibitions not to miss.
Uncompromising female artists dominate in the top booths at this annual fair at the Park Avenue Armory.
Linhares has become a pioneer who paved the way for a generation of women artists to develop their own alternative worlds.
Like her 17th century literary forebears, Judith Linhares is a raconteuse. She draws from mythology and fairy tales—especially fairy tales—but she rarely uses themes that, as she says, “are actually known... It’s really important for me to make everything up.”
Nari Ward has his first-ever survey at a New York museum and Judith Linhares brings her feminist paintings to P·P·O·W.
In her first solo exhibition since being added to P.P.O.W.’s roster, Judith Linhares offers paintings that imagine a universe without men. Blending various elements of Abstract Expressionism and Bay Area figuration, the works in “Hearts on Fire” show nude women, various creatures, and flowers in fantastical, vibrant settings.
