Sharon Gilbert

Sharon Gilbert (1944–2005) was a New York-based artist whose work included sculpture, collage, and art books.

Focuses of her work include nuclear radiation poisoning, environmental pollution, chemical warfare, and police brutality. Her most noted work is A Nuclear Atlas published by the Women's Studio Workshop.

Gilbert's work has been exhibited at venues including the Brooklyn Museum, Museum of Modern Art, Yale University Art Gallery, Printed Matter, the Center for Book Arts, Centre Pompidou, among others.
