Kim Abeles (b. 1952) is the 33rd woman artist to be honored by the Museum’s Council of 100. Abeles is an American interdisciplinary artist and professor emerita currently living in Los Angeles. She is known for the social and political nature of her artwork and especially for her feminist perspective. Abeles has exhibited her works in 22 countries and has received a number of significant awards including a Guggenheim Fellowship. Additionally, she was a professor in public art, sculpture, and drawing at California State University, Northridge from 1998 to 2009, becoming professor emerita in 2010.
Opening July 30, 2022, her solo exhibition at FAM is organized as a survey providing examples of her work in the area of social and political consciousness. Some pieces are very personal while others address homeless women or women prisoners who work as firefighters. Also in this exhibition, Abeles addresses climate change and its effect on trees, human beings, our atmosphere, and the ever-present global smog. These artworks here will raise viewers’ awareness of the many crises facing our planet and humankind today.
