A leader in women’s art movement, Dorothy Gillespie’s work incorporated significant 20th century trends in art. Works include abstract expressionism, decorative abstraction, site-specific installations and art in public spaces. She was a pioneer in the new directions of metal sculpture and best known for large-scale, highly colorful painted arrangements of cut aluminum strips radiating, undulating, or curling in giant arrangements of ribbon, enchanted towers, and even the burst of fireworks pieces. 

A celebrated, highly collected artist, Ms. Gillespie’s prolific works have graced many institutions, museums, colleges, universities and public places.

The Dorothy M. Gillespie Foundation, administered by its President, Gary Gillespie Isreal, son of Dorothy Gillespie, fosters the legacy of Dorothy Gillespie’s life and work.
