Anne Minich - Tender

anne square

Tender is Anne Minich’s (b. 1934) second solo exhibition with COMMONWEAL gallery.

 

Featuring sculptures, paintings, and drawings, Tender explores how fears and desires cast their imprint across our lives through the symbolism inherent to memory. In this broad survey, Anne’s deeply introspective artworks invite us to reflect upon how we reconcile our own experiences and expectations with reality.

 

Anne Minich was born in Philadelphia and spent her early years on a farm in Chester County, which was influential in shaping her approach to making art. She spent two years studying at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in the early 1950s, married, had three children, attended the University of Miami for two years in the early 1970s, moved to New York City, and then in 1981 returned to Philadelphia where she has lived ever since.

 

Over the past five decades, Anne has created artworks that employ autobiography to chronicle her complex experiences through engaging themes of sexuality, violence, spirituality, place, friendship, and family.  In addition to COMMONWEAL, her works have been exhibited at White Columns (NYC), Kunstmuseum Schloss Derneberg (Germany), Thomas Erben (NYC), Villa Lontana (Italy), McCoy Gallery (MA), Bowdoin College (ME), Woodmere Art Museum (PA), The Minneapolis Institute of Art, and Gavlak Gallery (LA), amongst others.
