Stephanie Brody-Lederman is a New York painter, book artist,[1] and sculptor whose mixed media works combine visual imagery with words.[2][3][4] In 1977-1978 her art was included in the major exhibition American Narrative/Story Art--1967-1977 at the Contemporary Arts Museum in Houston, Texas.[5]
In 1977, her art was included in a group exhibition at the New Jersey State Museum in the Trenton Capitol Complex.[20] In 1978 her solo exhibition in a Nassau County, Long Island museum was closed after four hours by the museum's failure to comply with fire regulations.[21] In 1980 her art was shown at the Summit Art Center in Summit New Jersey.[22] Kathryn Markel Fine Arts, Inc. represented Lederman, along with Barton Lidice Benes and Pat Lasch at Art 1981 at the Chicago Navy Pier Show,[23] and her art shown at a Kathryn Markel group show was reviewed.[24]
A reviewer of her 1995 exhibit Summer Light at Louisiana State University at Shreveport described her art as both puzzling and avant garde.[25] In 2000, Lederman contributed a painted bovine called "Hot Tips" to the New York City CowParade.[26] In 2001, a reviewer compared Lederman's exhibition Tropisms and Small Fires in Fort Myers, Florida to Jean Dubuffet's description of l'art brut.[27]
She had a solo exhibition in 2013 at OK Harris Gallery in New York’s SoHo district, South of Houston Street in Manhattan,[28] and is a regular exhibitor there.[29] In 2017 she continues to participate in group exhibitions in The Hamptons,[30][31] winning first place in the Guild Hall's 70th Anniversary show.[32] Her art was selected for the 2017-2018 group show Text Me:How We Live in Language[33] at the Museum of Design Atlanta (MODA).
In 2018 her painting "Outdoor Girl" was bought by Shakespeare and Company (bookstore) in Paris. The painting will be installed in the bookstore during the winter of 2018/19 and was shown previously at Guild Hall and Arlene Bujese gallery.[34]
