Anne Tabachnick was born in Derby, Connecticut in 1927. She attended Hunter College, earning a BA in Anthropology and Art, and attended the graduate school for art at the University of California, Berkley in 1951. After studying briefly with painter Nell Blaine, she was awarded a scholarship from Hans Hoffmann and attended both his schools in New York City and Provincetown. Tabachnick also studied briefly with William Baziotes. Her many honors and awards include: the Long View Foundation award (first woman recipient) in 1960, Radcliffe's Bunting Institute grant (first out of state recipient) in 1967 and 1969, a CAPS grant sponsored by the New York City Council on the Arts in 1975 and 1978. Tabachnick received the Adolf and Esther Gottlieb fellowship in 1982 and a year later the John Solomon Guggenheim fellowship. Public collections include: the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art, the Hyde Collection and the Dayton Art Institute. It is interesting to note that her father was a world renowned Yiddish poet. | |||||||||||
