Roni Horn

(American, born 1955)

Roni Horn is a contemporary American artist whose practice encompasses a myriad of subjects and media, including text-based sculptures, rubber floor installations, and photographic exhibitions. Horn’s work explores both specific subject matter, such as the poems of Emily Dickinson, and the more nebulous subject of her own fascination and psychological connection with the geology of Iceland’s landscape. “You use metaphor to make yourself feel at home in world,” the artist has said. “You use metaphor to extinguish the unknown. The problem is the unknown is where I want to be.” Born on September 25, 1955 in New York, NY, she went on to study first at the Rhode Island School of Design and then the Yale School of Art, where she received her MFA in 1978. Horn’s career became established in the late 1980s after she had shown at both Paula Cooper Gallery and Leo Castelli Gallery in New York. Today, her works are in the collections of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York, the Kunstmuseum Basel, and The Museum of Modern Art in New York, among others. Horn lives and works between New York, NY and Reykjavik, Iceland.
