Biographical Note
Born on November 29, 1934 in Chicago Illinois, Judith Greene Golden is an American photographer and has explored themes in her work such as issues of gender, identity, popular culture and the influence of the media. Golden grew up on the South side of Chicago and she attributes her curiosity regarding other cultures and countries to this early experience in a multicultural neighborhood. As a child she attended classes at the Art Institute of Chicago and in 1973 she graduated from the School of the Art Institute with a B.F.A. degree. In 1975, she earned her M.F.A. from the University of California, Davis where she studied with William Wiley, Manuel Neri, Roy DeForest, and Robert Arneson.
From 1975 to 1979 she taught with Robert Heinecken at the University of California, Los Angeles. Her style of photography was in part influenced by the Hollywood style and era. Using multimedia tools, her photographs offer a satirical commentary on the superficial world of entertainment and celebrities.
In 1981 Golden accepted a faculty position with the Art Department at the University of Arizona in Tucson. This new position introduced Golden to the different cultures of the Native American tribes in Arizona. Specifically, the rituals of using masks to conceal an individual to later reveal a more universal spirit influenced her work and became a central theme in many of her photographs.
Judith Golden has had shows all around the world and her photos have been exhibited in museums such as the Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Museum of Photographic Arts, San Diego, the Museum of Contemporary Photography, Chicago, among others. Golden has received numerous grants and awards including the National Endowment for the Arts, the Arizona Commission on the Arts, and the Polaroid Corporation. She is featured in The History of Women Photographers, by Naomi Rosenblum, Seizing the Light: A History of Photography, by Robert Hirsch, and other writings on contemporary photography.
Judith Golden gifted the CCP her archives in 1996.
