Josephine Halvorson will deliver the 2024 Henry L. and Natalie E. Freund Visiting Artist Lecture as part of the Sam Fox School’s Public Lecture Series at WashU.

Halvorson makes art that foregrounds firsthand experience and observation. She works primarily in painting, and also in sculpture and printmaking.

Her work has been exhibited internationally and is represented by Sikkema Jenkins & Co., NY, and Peter Freeman, Paris. Selected exhibitions include SECCA (2015), Storm King Art Center (2016), the ICA Boston Foster Prize Exhibition (2019-20), and Ríos Intermitentes, a group exhibition curated by Magdalena Campos-Pons as part of the Havana Biennial (2019). In 2021 she presented a solo exhibition of site responsive work at the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum in Santa Fe, New Mexico, where she was the museum’s first artist in residence. This fall Halvorson presented her work in a solo exhibition in Los Angeles, California at James Fuentes Gallery.

Halvorson’s work and practice have been written about widely and she is a subject of Art21’s documentary series New York Close Up.
