Description
Born 1934, Pasadena, California
Lives and works in Pasadena, California
Helen Pashgian is a pioneer and pre-eminent member of the Light and Space movement. Her signature forms include columns, discs and spheres in delicate and rich coloration, often with an isolate element appearing suspended, embedded or encased within. Developed through innovative applications of industrial epoxies, plastics and resins, Pashgian’s semi-translucent surfaces seem to flter and contain illumination. Activated by light, these sculptures resonate in form and spatiality both inner and outer.
Helen Pashgian was an artist in residence at the California Institute of Technology from 1970-71. She received a National Endowment of the Arts Individual Artist Grant in 1986. In 2013, she was a recipient of the MOCA’s Award to Distinguished Women in the Arts.
She was included in Pacifc Standard Time: Cross Currents in L.A. Painting and Sculpture, 1950-1970 at The Getty Center, the related Pacifc Standard Time exhibition Phenomenal: California Light, Space, Surface at The Museum of Contemporary Art, San Diego, and was the subject of a major solo exhibition, Helen Pashgian: Light Invisible, at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art during the spring of 2014. -
