Rachel Feinstein in Florence

Born in Fort Defiance, Arizona, and raised in Miami, Rachel Feinstein received a BA in 1993 from Columbia University, New York, where she studied religion, philosophy, and studio art. Her work was included in the first iteration of MoMA PS1’s Greater New York in 2000, and her first career survey, Maiden, Mother, Crone at the Jewish Museum, New York (2019–21), presented three decades of her sculptures, paintings, and videos and was accompanied by a major monograph. In 2023, Feinstein’s exhibition Façade was at the SCAD Museum of Art, Savannah. Also in 2023, a multipart project exhibits Feinstein’s paintings and sculpture in dialogue with Baroque and Renaissance masterworks across three museums in Florence: Palazzo Medici Riccardi, Museo Stefano Bardini, and Museo Marino Marini.
