Mary Ann Unger
Mary Ann Unger (May 10, 1945 – December 28, 1998) was an American sculptor known for large scale, semi-abstract public works in which she evoked the body, bandaging, flesh, and bone. She is known for dark, bulbous, beam-like forms. Her sculptures concern universal issues such as death and regeneration and are described as transcending time and place. Unger received a
Guggenheim Fellowship and
Pollock-Krasner Foundation grants and was a resident fellow at
Yaddo. Her work is found in collections such as the
Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, the
Brooklyn Museum of Art, the
Philadelphia Museum of Art, the
Albright-Knox Art Gallery, and the
High Museum of Art. In 2018, Unger's work was acquired by both the
Whitney Museum of American Art and the
Art Institute of Chicago.
