Jon Kessler was born in Yonkers, New York in 1957. In 1980 he graduated S.U.N.Y. Purchase and completed the Whitney Museum Independent Study Studio Program. Jon’s first exhibition was at Artist’s Space in 1983. That same year he received a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts, again in 1985, and a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1996. Since that time he has exhibited widely in galleries and museums in the United States, Europe and Asia. His works are in many public collections including The Museum of Modern Art, The Whitney Museum of American Art and MOCA. His most recent show, “The Web”, was at the Swiss Institute in New York this past spring. Jon is a Professor of the Visual Arts at Columbia University where he has taught since 1994.
