Joan Mitchell (1925–1992), one of the most important artists of the post-war period, is also a uniquely transatlantic figure. From the 1950s onward, as Mitchell shuttled back and forth between the United States and France, her work—and the discourse around it developed across two continents, two cultures, and two languages. Invited by Mara Hoberman, nine artists, who are themselves based on either side of the Atlantic, reflect on Mitchell's life, work and enduring impact.
