Selected by Gary Garrels
Born in Lincoln, Nebraska in 1933, Jean Sandstedt earned a BFA in art at the University of Nebraska and an MFA from the University of Colorado, Boulder. In 1957 she married the artist Bruce Conner and the same day they boarded a flight to San Francisco. Her art-making includes painting and drawing in addition to collage, the medium for which she is best known. Working consistently for the past 60 years, it’s only in the last few that she’s been “rediscovered” by the art world establishment, resulting in acquisitions by the Whitney Museum of American Art, LACMA, SFMOMA, Centre Pompidou, the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago and the San Jose Museum of Art, which produced a major retrospective in 2022.
