Allison Zuckerman

Allison Zuckerman was born in 1990 and raised in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. 

She attended the Yale Norfolk Summer School of Art in 2011 and went on to receive a BA from the University of Pennsylvania in 2012. In 2015 she received an MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and was given the George and Ann Siegel Award, MFA Fellowship Competition from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.

Zuckerman had her first solo exhibit at the Kravets Wehby Gallery in New York in 2017. She was the artist-in-residence at the Rubell Family Collection in the summer of 2017. During her residency she created large works that were shown at her first museum show at the Rubell Family Collection in Wynwood, Miami. 

Vogue named Zuckerman one of “The Women to Watch” at Art Basel Miami in 2017. 

Zuckerman creates large works that combine art history and contemporary culture. She 

combines painting, collage and digital printing. The female figures in her paintings are larger-than-life and often intimidating, unlike their images in the original works that Zuckerman appropriates. “While there have been some crucial and incredibly important female artists in the canon of Western art history,"  Zuckerman said, “women have largely been the subjects and rarely the makers. I am drawn to art history so I can re-present it. I would like to tell a different story, one from a female point of view. The woman on display is proud while vulnerable, imperfect yet real. She intimidates rather than seduces. I want these figures to be empowered and autonomous.”

Auckerman has collaborated with Louis Vitton, Vogue Italia, created the cover art for British singer Charli XCX’s I Finally Understand, painted a mural in Brooklyn and continues to have her work shown in galleries in the U.S. and Europe.

Allison Zuckerman lives and works in New York with her husband, Noah Chaimberg.
