Petah Coyne Biography

Petah Coyne is one of the most popular and richest Artist who was born on September 30, 1953 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, United States. Coyne was born in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma in 1953 to a military-related family that relocated frequently before arriving to Dayton, Ohio. While Coyne completed her studies at Oakwood High School, her mother took her home schooling during the summer months to enable her to complete a variety of classes before the deadline, making an opportunity for her take classes in art in Dayton’s University of Dayton, go to local foundries to make bronze castings and even go on painting excursions. She was a student at Kent State University from 1972-1973 before moving on to in 1973, the Art Academy of Cincinnati, where she graduated in 1977.

“Coyne belongs to a generation of sculptors–many of them women–who came of age in the late 1980s and forever changed the muscular practice of sculpture with their new interest in nature and a penchant for painstaking craftsmanship, domestic references and psychological metaphor.”

In 2016, Coyne had her first Taiwanese solo exhibition at Nunu Fine Art in Taipei. “Petah Coyne: A Free Life” featured a collection of dynamic black and white photographs alongside recent sculptures, such as Untitled #1424 (Zhang Yimou) and Untitled #1421 (Ha Jin), a large hanging work with blue and white waxed flowers surrounding a steel armature. This exhibition takes its name from Ha Jin’s 2007 novel, A Free Life.

In 2018 Coyne had her first solo exhibition in New York City in over a decade, “Petah Coyne: Having Gone, I Will Return,” at Galerie Lelong & Co. Enlisting the help of couture seamstresses, Coyne learned techniques to manipulate fabric and create a new monumental work, Untitled #1379 (The Doctor’s Wife), which became the centerpiece of the exhibition. The piece was inspired by the book The Doctor’s Wife, a novel by Sawako Ariyoshi written in 1966.

Petah Coyne’s solo show in 2010, “Everything That Rises Must Converge,” at the MASS MoCA (May 29, 2010) was her biggest retrospective show to date. It featured large-scale mixed-media works along with photographs printed in silver gelatin. The pieces featured in the show range from more abstract, earlier sculptures constructed out of industrial materials to more contemporary ones created with delicate wax. In these more recent works, Coyne incorporates wax-covered objects like ribbons, pearls or silk blossoms into massive sculptures, usually featuring taxidermied animals and taxidermied birds.
