Connie Fox, whose art career spanned seven decades, received her BFA in 1947 from University of Colorado, and attended Art Center School in Los Angeles for a rigorous program of drawing, perspective, rendering, and composition. She received her MA at the University of New Mexico, Albuquerque in 1952, where she then taught and met artists Elaine de Kooning (1918-1989) and Robert Dash (1931-2013) who later encouraged her to move to the East End of Long Island.
In the traditions of Abstract Expressionism and Surrealism, Connie Fox was an original, and as Amei Wallach wrote, "a super collider of painting…[who] accelerates particles of line, shape, dimension, improbable hue…into emanations of energy. The integrity and sheer exuberance of her life in art is exemplary and it is rare."
Connie Fox and her husband, sculptor William King, made their home together and worked in the studios they built in East Hampton's Northwest Woods through the last 40 years of Fox's life.
Her most recent solo exhibitions were with Danese/Corey Gallery, NY in 2014 and the Heckscher Museum. Fox's works are included in the collections of major museums and galleries across the country, including the Parrish and Guild Hall; the American Academy of Arts and Letters; Albright-Knox Art Gallery; Brooklyn Museum; and the University of Florida, Gainesville.
