A wonderful studio visit provided by NewArtTV. We’re happy to post some of the interviews that we find of interest. Enjoy this conversation with the artist in her SoHo studio. www.dorothearockburne.com from wikipedia (become a donor) Dorothea Rockburne was born in 1932 in Montreal, Canada. She is an abstract painter drawing inspiration primarily from her deep interest in mathematics and astronomy. In 1950 she moved to the United States to attend Black Mountain College, where she studied with mathematician Max Dehn, a life long influence on her work. In addition to Dehn, she studied with Franz Kline, Philip Guston, John Cage, and Merce Cunningham. She also met fellow student Robert Rauschenberg. In 1955, Rockburne moved to New York City.
