Who gets to be remembered?
“Joan Mitchell—one of the top five female artists at auction—still has far fewer museum shows than her male peers. There has not been a museum show of Mitchell’s in New York for over 25 years.”—@christablatchford
Now on our YouTube channel, watch “Changemaker – Living Legacies” at the #MakingTheirMark Forum, featuring Christa Blatchford Executive Director of the Joan Mitchell Foundation @joanmitchellfdn. Framing legacy as an active, living practice, Blatchford considers how artists can be better supported in building from their past for their futures, and the critical role foundations play in sustaining artists’ living legacies.

💎 The “Abstract Impressionism” of Joan Mitchell and Claude Monet 💎
This breathtaking exhibition, ‘Monet - Mitchell,’ @fondationlv establishes an unprecedented ‘dialogue’ between the immersive paintings of acclaimed artists Claude Monet (1840-1926) and Joan Mitchell (1925-1992). We loved the pairing of these two artists’ work, it powerfully showcased their shared interpretation of landscape (the banks of the Seine) through the interplay of light and color. Their similar pictorial approach, which Monet defined as ‘sensation’ and Mitchell as ‘feelings,’ really come through in this show. An enchanting exhibition ✨
‘Monet - Mitchell,’ Fondation Louis Vuitton, Paris, through 27 Feb 2023

The Joan Mitchell exhibition it was at the baltimoremuseumofart includes a "soundscape" experience that brings to life Mitchell’s words, woven together with the music and surroundings that influenced her creative practice.
As you pass from one gallery to the next, advancing through the chronology of Mitchell's work, you reach new soundscape "stops" that include music, poetry, ambient sounds, and readings—all of which evoke the artist's influences and frame of mind at the time the paintings were created.
In this excerpt, which accompanies a gallery of paintings from the mid-1970s, the sounds of a rainstorm combine with Mitchell's words to evoke her experience in the French countryside of Vétheuil, where she lived and worked from 1968 until her death in 1992. The effect is immersive and transporting, adding context and depth to the exhibition.

“I can’t quote van Gogh but it’s in . . . one of his so many beautiful letters, where he says he gives gratitude to the sunflower because it exists. And I give gratitude to trees because they exist and that’s all my painting is about.”

Joan Mitchell - “I don’t think when I paint”
In this brief interview, Joan Mitchell pointedly sidesteps attempts to anchor her abstractions in anecdote or portraiture, refusing the idea that her canvases are illustrations of people or events. She casts painting instead as a non-discursive practice, where gesture, color, rhythm, and the sheer material drag of paint on canvas precede and undermine any stable “aboutness.” What the clip reveals is an artist for whom abstract painting is a form of embodied thought that happens in the work itself, not in explanation after the fact.

Joan Mitchell’s work holds immense value due to her significant contributions to Abstract Expressionism and her distinctive lyrical and gestural style. Her pieces often capture intense emotional and visual experiences, making them highly sought after. Mitchell’s reputation as a leading female artist in a male-dominated movement enhances the historical and cultural significance of her work. Additionally, her paintings’ scarcity and the increasing demand in the contemporary art market contribute to their escalating value, making her works a prudent and prestigious investment for collectors.

David Zwirner Highlights Joan Mitchell’s Transformative Years of 1960-1965 🌊
Joan Mitchell’s years between 1960 and 1965 were filled with movement, between cities, seasons, and states of mind. Living between Paris and the Mediterranean, she produced works that reflect the sea’s turbulence, personal loss, and a relentless push toward new painterly forms. This focused presentation at David Zwirner captures one of the most charged and experimental periods in her practice.

Joan Mitchell described herself as being two people: “little Joan” and “big Joan.” “Little Joan” was the creative child that toiled alone in her studio and “big Joan” went out into the world to protect “little Joan.”
When we look at a Joan Mitchell painting we are looking at an image of liberty. We are looking at abandon made palpable. Mitchell approached the act of painting from a place of total freedom, without a blueprint going in, or a definitive plan. Whatever ended up on the canvas came from her intuition, and was an immediate reflection of her truth.
It may be joy that she felt, or anger, or fear; it may be an image formed from bits and pieces of a memory she was holding in her head, or a beloved landscape she was holding in her heart. When we encounter her paintings, in the midst of a quick or casual glance, we may or may not feel what Mitchell felt. We may or may not recognize the exact meaning she hoped to convey. But the energy that flowed through her with every brushstroke screams at us.
It arrests us in space and speaks to whatever primal stuff inside of us recognizes it for what it is: the vibrant, timeless, universal echo of love, loss, joy, fear, pride and pain.
