Juliet Holland 2012 Signed “IMA III” Mixed Media Painting and Collage on Canvas

A 2012 mixed media painting and collage on canvas titled, IMA III by American artist Juliet Holland (1937-2017). Composed predominately of neutral tones and layers of flyaway brushwork, the piece is accented with splashes and drips of paint in gray-green, teal, and burnt orange. Foam board, paper, and tape combine to form linear and abstract forms upon the canvas. The painting is signed, dated, and titled verso. 

Born in Wellesley Hills and Duxbury, Massachusetts, Juliet Holland (1937-2017) moved on from her life as a suburban wife, mother, and social hostess and began her art practice in the 1960s. Holland’s adult life was spent between two chosen homes; for more than 35 years, she lived between an apartment at Bleeker and Broadway in New York City and a tiny fisherman’s cottage in Saugatuck Shores, Connecticut. Her technique mirrored her dual landscapes and incorporated rich layers of sand, paints, clay, powders, metallics, and natural elements, which were built up, then scratched and scraped back down, creating layers — evoking time. 

Holland showed in over one hundred one-person and group exhibitions between 1981 and 2018. Her work is held in museums such as the San Antonio Museum of Modern Art, Reading Public Museum, as well as a number of corporate and private collections. Holland was a co-founder of Art Bridge, a program that established an artist exchange between Japan and the United States for twelve years. In addition to being an artist and businesswoman, she worked as a curator of several exhibitions and was on the board of directors of Lamia Ink!, a non-profit organization dedicated to the arts.
