Life[edit]

Von Heyl was born in Mainz and spent her childhood in Bonn. Her father was a lawyer, her mother a psychologist.[3] She studied painting at the Hochschule für bildende Künste of Hamburg under Jörg Immendorff, and at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf under Fritz Schwegler. In the mid-1990s she moved to New York City,[4] where she has a studio in the Brooklyn Navy Yard.[5][3]

Since 1997, Charline von Heyl has been married to fellow artist Christopher Wool.

Work[edit]

In 2005, von Heyl's exhibition Concentrations 48: Charline von Heyl[6] was held at the Dallas Museum of Art in Dallas, Texas, USA, and in 2009, her work was exhibited in Le jour de boire est arrivé held at Le Consortium, a contemporary art center in Dijon, France.

In 2011–2012, von Heyl had two major traveling retrospectives. Charline von Heyl, Now or Else started at the Tate Liverpool in Liverpool, England[7][8][9] and subsequently traveled to the Kunsthalle Nürnberg in Nuremberg, Germany[7] and the Bonner Kunstverein in Bonn, Germany. A second show, Charline von Heyl, was exhibited within the United States at the Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston[7][10] and the Institute of Contemporary Art, Philadelphia.[7][8]

In 2018, the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden exhibited the largest U.S. museum survey ever of von Heyl's work.[11] Featuring more than thirty large-scale paintings, Charline von Heyl: Snake Eyes was extended due to its popularity at the museum.
