I love her paintings and find her sculpture very charming. That sounds kind of minimizing, but charm is underrated.
She died fairly young at age 51, at a construction site in India, while they (and her?) were installing an obelisk. Stories like these make me think religion (she obviously was attracted to the Far Eastern sort) is a joke.
No matter, long live Joan Brown! LACMA recently replaced their Joan Brown with a John Altoon, another very underrated artist, in their permanent display this year. When is a god damn space gonna give either a full retrospective?
