About

Gloria Klein developed systems and processes to experiment with palettes and compositions that result in intricate patterns ranging from the highly structured to the completely chaotic and every variation in between. The interplay of order and disruption plays a vital role in Klein’s practice, who came of age in 1970s New York. Klein’s slender hard-edged hatch marks of varying lengths were core to her expression. Like a single sewing stitch only makes one mark, collectively hundreds and thousands of them create intricate patterns and complex compositions. Her systematic paintings and drawings from the 1970s are belied by their exuberant color and form. They can be read as Minimalist, Conceptual, and systems-based, but they are also indebted to the burgeoning support for ‘women work’ and the Pattern & Decoration movement. Her legacy of advocacy on behalf of women and lesbian artists, such as herself, has long been excluded from the art historical canon.

Gloria Klein (b. 1936, Brooklyn, NY; d. 2021) began her adult education with a BA in Economics at the Brooklyn College, City University of New York. Following which she attended the Brooklyn Museum School of Art, the Art Students League of New York, and finally in 1970 she enrolled at Hunter College where she took classes with conceptual artist Robert Barry and Robert Swain. She obtained her MA in art from Hunter College in 1973. Klein exhibited widely in group and solo exhibitions throughout the 1970s and 80s including at Hunter College, New York, NY; The Brooklyn Museum, Brooklyn, NY; The Aldrich Museum, Ridgefield, CT; P.S.1., Long Island City, NY; 112 Workshop, New York, NY; and A.I.R., New York, NY, among many others.  

During her lifetime, Klein was awarded several awards, including artists’ residences, scholarships, and grants such as the International Women’s Year Award (1975-76); Studio Space at Vermont Studio School, Johnson, VT (1988); Honorable Mention, Turchin Center for Visual Arts, Boone, North Carolina (2005); Adolph & Esther Gottlieb Foundation Grant (2005), and Pollock/Krasner Foundation Grant (2007). Her work can be found in many private and public collections and corporate. Among the institutions, we can mention the Dallas Museum of Art, Dallas, TX and The Blanton Museum of Art at the University of Texas at Austin. Some of the corporates include Chase Manhattan Bank, Chemical Bank, Citibank, Lehmann Brothers Corporation, Sherman and Sterling, Swiss Reinsurance Company, and Texaco, to name a few. In 2024, Anat Ebgi presented the first solo exhibition of Klein’s work in Los Angeles.

Whitehot Magazine, January 2026

Gloria Klein

Klein was masterful at both making symmetry and subverting it, and her best paintings, like “Bon Voyage/Semaphores” (1987), invite you to seek it while also denying you the satisfaction. It’s an experience that feels very human: searching for order, and thus meaning, in a mercurial world– Jillian Steinhauer

The New York Times, January 2026

Gloria Klein Pushed Abstraction to Its Limit. Now the Art World Is Catching Up

The human mind is miraculous, but fallible. The anxious acrylic arrangements of late New York-based painter Gloria Klein evoke its glitches. Beneath their superficial frenzies, however, lie methodical mathematical systems—manifestations of Klein’s obsessive nature. These patterns are prone to failures of their own. They also epitomize art-making as an act of self-exploration.

Shows to See In LA | Gloria Klein

Gloria Klein emerged as a painter in the heady downtown New York art scene of the 1970s. Her colorful, hard-edge abstractions reflect several trends of the time, from Minimalism and Conceptualism to the Pattern and Decoration and Feminist Art movements. The sometimes-competing algorithmic systems that rule her compositions result in complex paintings of geometric marks, which each vibrate rhythmically with their own internal logic. Unbinding Unwinding, the late artist’s first show in Los Angeles, features work from the 1970s and ’80s, including early text-based diagrammatic drawings. —Matt Stromberg

Unmissable Exhibitions | Anat Ebgi at Frieze LA

During this year’s Frieze Art Fair in Los Angeles, Anat Ebgi gallery is set to present a curated offering of work by Gloria Klein, Jordan Nassar, and Meeson Pae. This presentation brings together three unique artists across generations and cultural backgrounds to explore themes of representation, spontaneity, and re-contextualized narratives. This spectacular collection of artists speaks directly to Anat Ebg’s mission of uplifting voices who often lack recognition from the art world. —Michael Anthony Hall

10 Rising Dealers in Los Angeles to Know as Frieze Comes to Town

Founded in 2012, Anat Ebgi Gallery prides itself on showcasing the work of underrepresented historical female artists. In honor of the 50-year anniversary of Womanhouse, the feminist art installation and performance space initiated by Judy Chicago and Miriam Schapiro, the gallery restaged the work in 2022 during that year’s Frieze LA. This came after a 2019 restaging of Tina Girouard’s 1977 performance Pinwheel, in which four performers, each in a separate quadrant, create an environment using fabric. The created environment enacts a ritual connected to a selected persona. At this year’s iteration of Frieze LA, Anat Ebgi will show works by Gloria Klein, who was an overlooked abstract painter in New York during the 1970s and ’80s. —
