Amanda Means

‘Her transformation of ordinary household objects into sublime minimal art can be seen not only in the light bulb series, but also in the black and white prints of water glasses...Sweaty, broken and scratched vessels monumentally fill the frame, revealing the beauty in the everyday.’

- Scott Hall

Amanda Means is an American artist and photographer and became known for her cameraless paintings and her experimental darkroom work with leaves and flowers and for her special black and white photographs of simple, everyday objects such as light bulbs and water glasses.

In her work, she is interested in the effect of objects that glow from within. It is not the light on the object shown, but the creation of light from within the object that is a concern of her photographic series.

Means has worked with her unique black and white print technique for artists such as Robert Mapplethorpe, Roni Horn and the Smithsonian Institution. She was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship in Photography in 2017 and has taught at various universities and art schools.

Amanda Means was born in Marion, New York in 1945. She lives and works in Beacon, New York.
1976 art studies in New York City, where she was influenced by the painting of Abstract Expressionism.
