Rona Pondick
Since 1984, American sculptor Rona Pondick has used the language of the body in her work, both literally and metaphorically. She has had 51 solo exhibitions in both museums and galleries internationally. Her sculptures have been included in over 220 group exhibitions, including numerous biennales. Her work can be found in the collections of 49 museums internationally. In the fall of 2022, Pondick’s sculpture will be on view in both a solo and a group exhibition at the Belvedere in Vienna: Rona Pondick: Carlone Contemporary at the Upper Belvedere, and Grow: The Tree in Art at the Lower Belvedere. This work will then travel to Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac in London for a solo exhibition in 2023.
