Susan Hoffman

Susan Hoffman is an American quilt artist.

Life She began quilting while still in high school, and with her friend and fellow quilt artist Molly Upton, opened a small shop to sell artwork in her hometown in Vermont. They were the first quilt artists to be represented by a New York gallery. Their 1975 exhibition received favorable reviews, including one by Ann-Sargent Wooster in Artforum, who noted Hoffman's "concern with subtleties of color" and her use of "units of cloth for chromatic abstractions similar to those of the German expressionists and Kupka."
