Fanny Sanín

Fanny Sanín Sader (born 1938) is a Colombian born artist from Bogotá who resides in New York City. The daughter of Gabriel Sanín Tobón and Fanny Sader Guerra, she is best known for her paintings of abstract geometric forms and colors. She is considered to be part of the second generation of abstract artists from Colombia.[1]

Fanny Sanín

She was awarded an Honoris Causa de Magíster en Artes (honorary master's degree of art) by University of Antioquia in February, 2015.[2]

Education and training

She graduated with a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Los Andes in 1960.[3] She continued her studies in the areas of printmaking and art history at the University of Illinois.[4][5] While living in London in the late 1960s, she studied engraving at the Chelsea School of Art.

Work

Sanín has cited a number of specific influences, including Ellsworth Kelly, Wassily Kandinsky, and Henri Matisse.[6] Her work is often compared to that of Carmen Herrera and Lygia Clark.

Sanín's work is in several public collections, including the Allen Memorial Art Museum in Oberlin, Ohio, where Sanín donated a painting in 2017. Acrylic No. 1, 2005 was donated by the artist in honor of the scholarly work of Edward J. Sullivan, Helen Gould Sheppard professor of Fine Arts at New York University. Additionally, the museum acquired three studies for this painting: Study for Painting No. 1 (3) 2005, Study for Painting No. 1 (5) 2005, and Study for Painting No. 1 (7) 2005.[7]
