Susan York joins Guggenheim Fellows
Susan York was awarded a 2024 Guggenheim Fellowship by The Board of Trustees of the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation. 188 Guggenheim Fellowships were presented to a distinguished and diverse group of culture-creators including Susan York, Lorraine O’Grady, Nicolas Galanin and Nicola Lopez. Previous Guggenheim Fellows include Alice Walker, James Baldwin, Rachel Carson, Thelonious Monk, Arthur Sze and Richard Serra.
Working across 52 disciplines recipients were chosen through a rigorous application and peer review process from a pool of almost 3,000 applicants, the Class of 2024 Guggenheim Fellows was tapped on the basis of prior career achievement and exceptional promise. As established in 1925 by founder Senator Simon Guggenheim, each fellow receives a monetary stipend to pursue independent work at the highest level under “the freest possible conditions.”
For York’s Guggenheim project, “The Color of Time,” she will create lithographs and sculptures from her investigations of colors deep within the glaciers of Alaska, Greenland and Iceland.
