About

Why this artist matters now

Harmony Hammond is an American mixed-media artist and founding figure of the feminist art movement in 1970s New York. Her work interrogates gender, sexuality, and institutional critique through unconventional materials and collaborative practice. As both artist and curator, Hammond shaped critical discourse around women's representation and artistic labor during a formative period in contemporary art. Her contributions extend across studio practice, curatorial projects, and art historical writing.
