ชีวประวัติ:

Stephen Posen is an American painter and photographer who works in both New York City and Bucks County, Pennsylvania. He was born in St. Louis, Missouri in 1939. Posen studied painting at Washington University, where he earned his BFA in 1962. He continued on to graduate studies at Yale University, earning his MFA in 1964. At Yale, Posen was part of a great confluence of talents including Brice Marden, Richard Serra, Nancy Graves, and Chuck Close. After graduate school, Posen spent two years in Italy on a Fulbright Fellowship. In 1966, Posen moved to New York City and became an integral part of the Soho art scene of the 1960s and 1970s, well-known for his Photorealism work. Posen's Photorealism works were exhibited in one-man exhibitions at Ivan Karp's OK Harris Gallery in 1969, 1971, and 1974, at Robert Miller Gallery in 1978, and in group exhibitions including the Sidney Janis Gallery and the 1972 Documenta V exhibition in Kassel, Germany, and the Yale University Art Gallery in 1974. Salvador Dalí and Andy Warhol were a few of the many supporters of Posen's early work. In 2018, select work from the 1960s and 1970s including his 'Fabric over Boxes' and 'Cutouts' series were exhibited at Vito Schnabel Projects in New York City, and at the Vito Schnabel Gallery in St. Moritz, Switzerland. Posen's work has been exhibited in numerous solo and group exhibitions, and is held in the collections of major museums such as the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York, and the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. Posen continues to work and exhibit his art today.
