Biography


Jenni Sorkin born in Chicago, Illinois on August 29, 1977. She received a PhD in Art History from Yale University in 2010.[1] She also attended the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and Bard College.[2]

Sorkin is the author of the book Live Form: Women, Ceramics, and Community[3]' (published in 2016), and her essays have appeared in exhibition catalogs for artists such as Joan Snyder,[4][5][6] M. C. Richards,[7] Barbara Kasten,[8] John Cage,[9] Judy Chicago,[10] Beatrice Wood,[11] and Carolee Schneemann.[12] She is on the faculty of the department of art history at the University of California, Santa Barbara.

Sorkin was the co-curator (with Paul Schimmel) of Revolution in the Making: Abstract Sculpture by Women 1947–2016, the inaugural exhibition at Hauser Wirth & Schimmel in Los Angeles. The exhibition featured sculptures by 34 women artists.

In 2021, Sorkin published Art in California, which provides a chronology of art-making in a state at the intersection of migration and global politics, including the institutions and networks that have shaped the radical art movements of California.[13]

Sorkin is an associate professor of art history at the University of California, Santa Barbara.[14]
