Joyce Kozloff was born in 1942 in Somerville, New Jersey. An original member of the feminist publishing collective Heresies, she is also one of the founders of the Pattern and Decoration movement of the 1970s. Since her first solo show in 1970, Kozloff has exhibited widely throughout the United States and abroad, including the recent Whitney Museum of American Art survey The American Century: Art & Culture 1900-2000, Part II. Her large-scale public commissions refer to indigenous and local motifs, employing, for example, an iconography of hand-painted ceramic tile walls in the San Francisco International Airport, the Harvard Square subway station and P.S.218 in New York. Her earlier book, Patterns of Desire, fused a world of decorative and erotic traditions into reams of roguish collage. She received a Prix de Rome from the American Academy in Rome for 1999-2000.
