Courtesan by Judy Fox, 1995, Honolulu Museum of Art

She is best known for her fired clay life size figures of nude women and children that are realistically painted with casein paint. Her sculptures of children address gender roles, and her meticulously detailed adult nudes reflect her interest in feminist issues. Courtesan from 1995, in the collection of the Honolulu Museum of Art, is an example of the artist's life size terracotta nudes of small children. The Essl Museum (in Klosterneuburg, Austria), the Honolulu Museum of Art, the Mint Museum of Art (Charlotte, North Carolina), and the Museum Moderner Kunst (Vienna) are among the public collections holding works by Judy Fox.

She is represented by Nancy Hoffman Gallery in New York.[2]

gollark: SSDs still cost ~4x more per GB and the reliability is not that different in a stationary system.
gollark: Depends on use pattern - do you want to read only, or read and write lots, or what? In general probably not.
gollark: So yes, anyway, there's non-computer progress and dismissing the computer progress is stupid.
gollark: Modern general purpose compression algorithms are also somewhat better than they were and improving.
