More information
Luis Gispert (born 1972 in Jersey City, New Jersey) lives and works in Brooklyn, New York. Gispert studied at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 1996 and later earned his MFA from Yale University in 2001. Concepts surrounding American culture and the fetishization of value have inspired the artist over the years, and those interests continue to serve as the basis from which all his ideas evolve. He melds the familiar with the unfamiliar in a somewhat theatrical aesthetic. He has exhibited at the Hood Museum of Art, New Hampshire (2023), Fredric Snitzer Gallery, Florida (2022), Morán Morán, Mexico City (2021), and Lundgren Gallery, Palma. His works are included in the permanent collections of several institutions including the New Museum of Contemporary Art, New York, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York, and the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York.
