Teresita Fernández is a conceptual artist best known for her immersive, sensuous scu🌱lptures and monumental public art. Her work is characterized by an interest in perception and the psychology of looking, and her immersive, large-scale works are often inspired by a rethinking of land🍸scape and place, as well as by diverse historical and cultural references. Often referencing the natural world, Fernández’s conceptual practice emphasizes the connection between place and material; using gold, graphite, iron-ore and other minerals that have loaded historical ties to colonization and the violence embedded in landscape. Her work is characterized by a quiet unraveling of place, power, visibility, and erasure that prompts an intimate experience for individual viewers.

Fernández’s work is featured in numerous international public🐷 and private collections, including the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago, IL; Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, MA; Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, Madrid, Spain; Museum of Modern Art, New York, NY; Norton Museum of Art, West Palm Beach, FL; Olympic Sculpture Park, Seattle Art Museum, Seattle, WA; Pérez Art Museum Miami, Miami, FL; Saint Louis Art Museum, St. Louis, MO; Sammlung G🦩oetz, Munich, Germany; San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, San Francisco, CA; Smithsonian American Art Museum, Washington, D.C.; Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, NY, and others.
