Jane Hammond
Jane R. Hammond (born 1950) is an American artist who lives and works in New York City.
"Language has always been important to Hammond, who was the editor of her high school literary magazine" and studied poetry and biology at Mount Holyoke College before earning her BA in art in 1972.
In 1989, Hammond received her first one-person exhibition at the New York alternative space, Exit Art.
After experimenting with monoprints, she turned to a combination of lithography, silkscreen, intaglio, and collage to achieve the complex layering of her trademark images.
Since this article was written, Hammond has moved in new directions; she no longer limits her painting to a body of found images.
Hammond's work "Fallen" is an installation acquired by the Whitney Museum of American Art in 2006.
The show was accompanied by a fully illustrated catalogue published by Penn State Press and the Mt.
Holyoke College Museum, containing essays by Faye Hirsch and Nancy Princenthal and an interview with the artist by Douglas Dreishspoon.
[citation needed] On August 11, 2007, Hammond's painting "All Souls (Piedras Negras)" sold for $75,000 at an auction at the Anderson Ranch Arts Center in Colorado.
