“Phoebe Legere is a transdisciplinary artist. Her multi-format artworks issue from a powerful and intimate internal voice.” ~ The Brooklyn Rail Special Invitation: New York City Preview of art from Legere’s upcoming Retrospective “Vanishing Women” at the Bundy Museum 234 Fifth Ave. @ 31 & 32 St. St. Ground floor Gallery ABOUT Phoebe Legere (Kennebec Abenaki/Cajun) is an artist whose art operates in the space between ecology, engineering, painting, drawing, sculpture, alternative energy, text, video, dance, music, performance art, new technologies and sculptural costuming. The Brooklyn Rail raved: “Her existence infinitely incarnates artistic and human experience.” Legere studied painting with Larry Rivers and drawing with Hilary Knight. Legere’s artistic development was driven by formative friendships with David Bowie, Linda Nochlin, Joni Mitchell, Jack Smith, Allen Ginsberg, Keith Haring, Ethyl Eichelberger, Jean-Michel Basquiat, RuPaul, John Ashbery, Hunter Thompson and Peter Beard. PHOEBE LEGERE is the President and Founder of the Foundation for New American Art, a nonprofit that brings free music and art training to the children of low-income communities of color. The Foundation for New American Art is the recipient of a 2022 “Challenge America” grant from the National Endowment for the Arts.
