Art:21 | Margaret Kilgallen
Loading...
Uploaded by art21org on Apr 29, 2008
Margaret Kilgallen's work reflects her encyclopedic knowledge of signs drawn from American folk tradition, printmaking, and letterpress. Kilgallen has a love of "things that show the evidence of the human hand." Painting directly on the wall, Kilgallen creates room-size murals that recall a time when personal craft and handmade signs were the dominant aesthetic.
Margaret Kilgallen is featured in the Season 1 episode "Place" of the Art21 series "Art:21 -- Art in the Twenty-First Century".

margaret has been a huge influence on me ever since i discovered her in juxtapoz,steve melb australia
-
was in japan but went home because she was apparently sick, later everyone at the gallery found out she was pregnant but also had cancer, she'd have to abort the baby to have treatment so she refused and a few short weeks after giving birth margaret passed away
-
Lovely words!
-
was a very sad story the day she died. after she had passed away her husband had to pump her breast milk out of her dead body to feed their newborn baby.
-
RIP
-
she could have been treated but she was pregnant at the time and it would have possibly meant losing the baby. so she decided to not get treated so her baby would be healthy and live.... amazing. RIP

did she die?
