{{Use mdy dates|date=April 2018}}Linda Howard (born 1934) is an American sculptor, who is best known for her large-scale, outdoor artworks. The artist currently lives and works in Bradenton, Florida.[1]

Early life and education

Linda Howard was born in Evanston, Illinois in 1934.[2] In 1957 she attained a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Denver.[3] In 1971 Howard attained a Master of Arts degree from Hunter College in New York.[3]

Work

Howard creates large-scale, outdoor sculptures, frequently out of aluminum. Howard has said of her work: I am deeply concerned with the paradox that exists between man's experience of his physical reality and his knowledge of conceptual reality."[4]

In 1978, Howard was commissioned by the Public Art Fund to create a sculpture for the 1980 Winter Olympics in Lake Placid, New York.[2] For this commission, she created Maya (1979), a 1000-pound sculpture made of brushed aluminum, which was temporarily shown in City Hall Park prior to being moved for the Olympics.[2] With the installation of Maya, Howard became the first-ever woman artist to exhibit an artwork in City Hall Park.[2]
