Born in Germany, Wolf Kahn has lived in the United States since 1940. He began his studies in art under abstract painter Hans Hofmann and became his assistant, after which he received a Bachelor’s Degree from the University of Chicago. Kahn’s career continues to flourish. He has received such honors as a Fulbright Scholarship, a John Simon Guggenheim Fellowship, and an Award in Art from the American Academy of Arts and Letters.
WOLF KAHN
Wolf Kahn was born in Stuttgart, Germany in 1927, arriving in the United States in 1940. In 1945 he graduated from the High School of Music and Art in New York, after which he spent some time in the Navy. Upon discharge he studied with Hans Hofmann in New York and Provincetown, where he became Hofmann’s assistant. In 1950 he enrolled in the University of Chicago, graduating in 1951 with a BA. After a time of wandering across the continent and working as a lumberjack in Oregon, he returned to New York to resume painting. He had his first one-man show at the Hansa Gallery, which he had helped to found. In 1956 he joined the Grace Borgenicht Gallery where he exhibited regularly until it closed in 1995. His currently shows at Ameringer|McEnery|Yohe in New York, as well as numerous galleries and museums throughout the world. Traveling extensively, he has painted landscapes in such diverse locales as Maine, Mexico, Italy, Greece, Kenya, New Mexico, Hawaii, Turkey, Holland, and Egypt. He spends his summers and autumns on a hillside farm in Vermont, which he and his wife, the painter Emily Mason, have owned since 1968. They have two daughters, Cecily and Melany. Cecily Kahn is a painter, married to the painter David Kapp. Kahn has received a Fulbright Scholarship, a John Simon Guggenheim Fellowship, an Award in Art from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, a Lifetime Achievement Award from the National Academy of Design, and the Outstanding Alumni Professional Achievement Award by the University of Chicago and the Department of State’s 2017 International Medal of Arts. He is a member of the National Academy of Design and the American Academy of Arts and Letters. Harry N. Abrams, Inc. published the comprehensive monograph Wolf Kahn in 1996 (updated edition in 2011), Wolf Kahn Pastels in 2000, and Wolf Kahn’s America: An Artist’s Travels, in 2003.
