Collection: Rona Pondick

Rona Pondick (born 1952, Brooklyn) is an American sculptor whose practice centres on the body, fragmentation, and psychologically charged form. Working primarily in sculpture and installation, Pondick produces objects that engage teeth, mouths, shoes, beds, hair, and other body-adjacent materials as sites of anxiety, desire, and transformation. Her work operates at the boundary between the human and the animal, the familiar and the uncanny, the domestic and the threatening.

Pondick came to prominence in the late 1980s and 1990s with works that placed bodily fragments — cast in materials including wax, resin, and stainless steel — in unsettling spatial and relational configurations. Her exhibitions during this period included Mine at the Brooklyn Museum and shows at Patricia Faure Gallery, Susan Inglett, and Howard Yezerski Gallery. Her work is held in major public and private collections internationally.

This collection brings together exhibition ephemera and printed matter connected to Pondick’s practice and institutional presentations.
