About Almond Zigmund
Raised in Brooklyn, NY, Almond Zigmund received her BFA from Parsons School of Design, in New York and Paris, and MFA from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, where she studied with the MacArthur Award-winning critic, Dave Hickey.

Zigmund makes large scale site responsive installations, discrete sculptures, works on paper and paintings. Combining crisp geometry, vivid color, and intricate patterns, her sculptures and installations often suggest walls, barricades, enclosures, and other aspects of the built environment. The architectonic works tend to engage the eye and the body at once, offering generous amounts of visual stimulation while also inducing visceral reactions to the virtual and actual spaces.

Zigmund’s work has been exhibited in Zurich, Berlin, New York, Columbus, Los Angeles, and Las Vegas among others. She has worked with various curators and artists including Parrish Chief Curator Corinne Erni, former Parrish Chief Curator Alicia Longwell, Dave Hickey, Robert Storr, David Pagel, Andrea Grover, and Leo Villareal. She has completed public and private installations and commissions, including the Parrish Art Museum in Water Mill, Guild Hall in East Hampton, the CMA in New York City and for Lisa Perry’s Onna House. She has done numerous public commissions, most recently for the newly designed US Embassy in Asuncion, Paraguay. She has completed numerous large scale murals most notably for Brookfield Art at One NY Plaza, the NYC Dept of Transportation, the The Whitman Walker Health Center in Washington DC, Guild Hall in East Hampton, NY, and the University of Laverne in Los Angeles. Almond Zigmund was inducted into the Guild Hall Academy of Arts in 2025. She is lives and works in East Hampton, NY.
