Karshan

Linda Karshan (Minneapolis, Minnesota, 1947) studied drawing, painting and colour
at Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs, New York, in 1965-66 with the architect
Robert Reed, a disciple of Joseph Albers’. In 1967 she worked for the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis, under the directorship of Jan van der Maarck, and later studied Art History at the Sorbonne in Paris in 1967-68. She has lived and worked in London since 1969.

Following the modern tradition that started with Malevich and Mondrian and continued with Schwitters, Reinhardt, Johns and minimalism, Linda Karshan has used and felt the grid as an archetypal image both for the emergence of the expressive object of artistic research and for the emergence of her essential being, which the artist takes as the origin of her person and her artistic creation.
