Dorothy Muriel Gillespie

Dorothy Muriel Gillespie (1920 - 2012) was active/lived in New York.  Dorothy Gillespie is known for Two and three-dimensional abstraction, installation.

From Roanoke, Virginia, Dorothy Gillespie creates installations of two and three dimensional work---paintings, collages, murals and sculpture with many of them "polycolored spirals of mylar, aluminum and steel that spring off walls and unfurl down staircases, creating a festival atmosphere."

Her education includes the Maryland Institute of Art, the Art Students League and Atelier 17 of Stanley Hayter. 

In 1946, she married, and traveled extensively around the world due to her husband's engineering profession.  She raised a family but continued her artwork, and increasingly experimented with abstraction and the combining of painting and sculpture.  She sometimes hangs paintings together or back to back or fastens them together to make cubes.  In the mid 1960s, in her work including collages, she became one of the first to use mylar, a flexible space-age material.
