As a young artist studying at Black Mountain College in the 1950s, Jo Sandman became interested in abstract shape as expressions of visually poetic language or glyphs. Collage, mixed media sculpture, and photography dating from the 1950s until 2014.


Jo Sandman was not only a witness to the historically important experimentation that shaped mid to late 20th century art, but also an active participant. A student of both Hans Hofmann and Robert Motherwell, she was in residence at Black Mountain College with Robert Rauschenberg and Cy Twombly and later worked for Walter Gropius. Trained as a painter, she went on to create innovative drawings, photography, experimental sculpture and installation works, which were exhibited widely and are now in permanent museum collections, including that of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and numerous others. Significant awards include fellowships from the Massachusetts Arts Council and the Bunting Institute at Harvard, as well as grants from the NEA and the Rockefeller Foundation. Over the course of a long career, she has exhibited widely and was featured in the 2022 retrospective Jo Sandman: Traces at the Black Mountain

College Museum in Asheville, NC; in a two person exhibition Helen Frankenthaler and Jo Sandman/Without Limits at the Bowdoin College Museum of Art in Brunswick, ME; and most recently in a solo exhibition at the Provincetown Art Association and Museum, Provincetown, MA in 2023/24.
