Molly Zuckerman-Hartung

Molly Zuckerman-Hartung (born 1975) is an American painter from Chicago, Illinois. Since 2015 she has worked as an art critic on the Yale School of Art.

Zuckerman-Hartung was born in Los Gatos, California in 1975. She earned a BA from Evergreen State College in 1998 and an MFA from the Art Institute of Chicago in 2007.

Zuckerman-Hartung lives and works in New York, and is represented by Corbett vs. Dempsey of Chicago. As of 2016 she is a critic on the Painting/Printmaking faculty at Yale School of Art.

Zuckerman-Hartung's work is in collections at the Walker Art Center, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago, and the Booth School of Business at the University of Chicago.

Her work has been featured in the 2014 Whitney Biennial and shows at the Walker Art Center, ReMap4, MOCA Cleveland, Corbett vs. Dempsey, Diana Lowenstein, and Lyles and King.

Zuckerman-Hartung's style is characterized by experimentation and attention to materials and techniques. In a review of "Queen", a show with Dana DeGiulio at Manhattan's Lyles and King gallery, the New York Times called Zuckerman-Hartung's work "a firestorm of techniques and effects: bleaching, dyeing, staining and sewing linen, silk and humble dropcloths". Hyperallergic remarked that "her abstract paintings often extend above the surface and outside the frame" and reflect "a deep engagement with process, material, and with painting’s long history."
