We have known Almond and her wonderful work for many years and it was a pleasure to finally visit her in her East Hampton studio.

You will see the source of her ideas that manifest in colorful energetic forms. As she discussed her work, she talked about the way her forms are influenced by classical sculptures - legs, torso and head - reading and activating the real and illusioned space she creates.

ARTIST BIO

Raised in Brooklyn, NY, Almond Zigmund received her BFA from Parsons School of Design, in New York and Paris, and MFA from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, where she studied with the MacArthur Award-winning critic, Dave Hickey.

Zigmund makes large scale site responsive installations, discrete sculptures, works on paper and paintings. Combining crisp geometry, vivid color, and intricate patterns, her sculptures and installations often suggest walls, barricades, enclosures, and other aspects of the built environment. The architectonic works tend to engage the eye and the body at once, offering generous amounts of visual stimulation while also inducing visceral reactions to the virtual and actual spaces.

Zigmund's work has been exhibited in Zurich, Berlin, New York, Columbus, Los Angeles, and Las Vegas among others. She has worked with various curators and artists including Dave Hickey, Robert Storr, Alicia Longwell, David Pagel, Andrea Grover, Corinne Erni and Leo Villareal. She has completed public and private installations and commissions, including Guild Hall in East Hampton, Parrish Museum of Art in Southampton, the CMA in New York City and for Lisa Perry’s Onna House. She has done numerous public commissions, most recently for the newly designed US Embassy in Asuncion, Paraguay. She has completed numerous large scale murals most notably for Brookfield Art at One NY Plaza, the NYC Dept of Transportation, the The Whitman Walker Health Center in Washington DC, Guild Hall in East Hampton, NY, and the University of Laverne in Los Angeles. Almond Zigmund was inducted into the Guild Hall Academy of Arts in 2025.
