Helène Aylon

Helène Aylon (1931–2020) was a visual, conceptual installation performance artist and ecofeminist whose art has been exhibited at the Whitney Museum in New York; the Jewish Museum in New York; the Aldrich Museum in Connecticut; and the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles, among many others. Her work can be divided into three phases: process art (1970s), antinuclear art (1980s), and The G-d Project (1990s and early 2000s), a feminist commentary on the Hebrew Bible and other established traditions. Throughout her career she collaborated with many major artists and writers, including Ana Mendieta, Grace Paley, Ad Reinhardt, and Mark Rothko. In 2016 she received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Women’s Caucus for Art.
