Andy Yoder

Andy Yoder’s work examines objects from everyday life. Humor, whimsy, and irony are the constants that prevail in his work. He uses domestic objects as the common denominators of our personal environment. Altering them is a way of questioning the attitudes, fears, and unwritten rules that have formed that environment and our behavior within it

Yoder’s work is in numerous public and private collections, and exhibitions include shows at the Brooklyn Museum of Art, the Queens Museum of Art, Winkleman Gallery in New York, and the American Academy of Arts and Letters. His work has been reviewed in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The New Yorker, and Art in America. Commissions include works for ESPN, Continental Airlines, Progressive Insurance, David and Susan Rockefeller, and the Saatchi Collection. He maintains a studio at Stable in Washington, DC, and was recently awarded a grant from the Corcoran Women’s Committee.

Yoder was born in Cleveland in 1957 and received a BFA in sculpture from the Cleveland Institute of Art in 1982.
