Portrait of Jo Baer

American, 1929–2025

Jo Baer was an American Abstract Expressionism artist. 9 works are cataloged here, principally at Museum of Modern Art. Jo Baer was born in Seattle.

Josephine Gail Baer was an American painter associated with minimalist art. She began exhibiting her work at the Fischbach Gallery, New York, and other venues for contemporary art in the mid-1960s. In the mid-1970s, she turned away from non-objective painting. After then, Baer fused images, symbols, words, and phrases in a non-narrative manner, a mode of expression she once termed "radical figuration." She lived and worked in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
