Anne Lilly
Artist Anne Lilly has used carefully engineered motion to manipulate our perceptions of time, place and self. Her austere, highly ordered and meticulous artworks move in organic, fluid and mesmeric ways, eliciting new connections between the physical world outside ourselves and our own private, psychological interior.
In 2018 Lilly installed Temple of Mnemon, an sculptural environment of shifting mirrors on the Rose Kennedy Greenway in Boston. She has received the Barnett and Annalee Newman Foundation grant-award for lifetime achievement, the Massachusetts Cultural Council Artist Fellowship for sculpture, the Blanche E. Colman grant, and visiting artist positions at the Isabella Stuart Gardner Museum, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and the Art Institute of Boston. Her work has been collected by the Jewish Museum, DeCordova Museum, New Britain Museum of American Art, and Middlebury College Museum of Art. In 2017, Interview Magazine named her the “#1 Pick” of the Seattle Art Fair, and she was the invitational lecturer at Lebanese American University in Beirut, Lebanon.
Lilly holds a Bachelor of Architecture, magna cum laude, from Virginia Tech, and has taught at RISD, MIT, and Massachusetts College of Art. She is represented by Gallery Kayafas in Boston, MA, Galerie Denise René in Paris, France, Rice/Polak Gallery in Provincetown, MA, and Sponder Gallery in Boca Raton, FL.
