Judy Fox is an American sculptor who was born in Elizabeth, New Jersey
in 1957. She studied at the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture in 1976, earned a BA from Yale University
in 1978, studied at the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts
Paris, France in 1979, and received an MFA from New York University
in 1983. She was an art student at the time when figurative art was submerged by abstraction, and took that as a challenge. In 2006, she was awarded a John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation
fellowship. Judy Fox lives and works in New York City.
She is best known for her fired clay figures of nude children that are realistically painted with casein paint
. Her sculptures of children address child sexuality, and her meticulously detailed adult nudes reflect her interest in feminist issues. The Contemporary Museum, Honolulu
and the Mint Museum of Art (Charlotte, North Carolina) are among the public collections holding works by Judy Fox.
"She is represented by PPOW gallery in New York, and at GalerieThaddaeus Ropac in Europe."
