Introduction
Cady Noland (born 1956) is an American sculptor, printmaker, and installation artist who primarily works with found objects and appropriated images. Her work, often made with objects denoting danger, industry, and American patriotism, addresses notions of the failed promise of the American Dream, the divide between fame and anonymity, and violence in American society, among other themes. Art critic Peter Schjeldahl called Noland "a dark poet of the national unconscious." She is also known for her numerous disputes and lawsuits with museums, galleries, and collectors over their handling of her work, as well as for her reluctance to be publicly identified, having only ever allowed two photographs of herself to be publicly released. Noland has participated in several high profile exhibitions, including the 44th Venice Biennale (1990), Whitney Biennial (1991), and Documenta 9 (1992). After widely exhibiting her art in the 1980s and 1990s to broad acclaim, Noland largely stopped presenting her work for nearly two decades. She began exhibiting again in the late 2010s, staging a museum retrospective in 2018 and exhibitions of new work in the early 2020s. A major museum survey of Noland's work, her first in the United States, is currently on view at Glenstone in Potomac, Maryland, until February 23, 2025.
