ALUMNA SPOLIGHT
Boston artist Jo Sandman studied at Black Mountain College in the summer of 1951. That summer, Sandman began to venture into collage and develop new painting on burlap, experimenting alongside her BMC contemporaries and developing an approach she has pursued throughout her career. After that summer, she continued her studies with Robert Motherwell and Hans Hoffman in New York where she became a member of The Club at the Cedar Room, the legendary meeting ground of the AbEx movement. In the decades following, Sandman continued to innovate using recycled and found materials as the base of her collages, paintings, sculpture, and installations. In the 1990s, Sandman began to explore a trajectory in photography. Ever evolving, Jo Sandman is an artist whose work defies the categorizations inhabited by many of the male artists that she worked alongside. While the spotlight may have shifted away from her art in these male-dominated arenas, her body of work represents a dedicated focus and accomplished vision, cementing her place in the ranks of the most innovative artists of the last century.
