Lisa Anne Auerbach is an artist, student and teacher asking questions about agency and voice in a cacophonous world. Her knitted work, publications, and photographs have been exhibited at museums, galleries, bicycle shops and malls in America and beyond. She has had solo exhibitions at Bennington College’s Usdan Gallery, Cambell Hall Art Gallery, Aspen Art Museum, Malmö Konsthall, and University of Michigan Museum of Art. Her work has been included in exhibitions at the Hammer Museum, Los Angeles, Parasophia Kyoto International Festival of Culture, Philagrafika2010, and in the 2014 Whitney Biennial. She was a recipient of a California Community Foundation Fellowship for Visual Artists in 2007, a Louis Comfort Tiffany Award in 2009, a City of Los Angeles Individual Artist Grant in 2013, and MacDowell Fellowships in 2012 and in 2016. In 2022, she was awarded a Wallis Annenberg Helix Fellowship, and in 2023 received a Lucas Artist Fellowship at Montalvo Arts and an Open Studio Residency at Haystack Mountain School of Crafts.
Recent publications include Forever... a catalog for her exhibition at Campbell Hall Gallery (2023), Sweater Parade, a catalog for her show at Usdan Gallery (2023), and PIT a collection of photographs published by the Grass Is Green In the Fields For You, Glasgow, Scotland (2021). Her recently self-published project include Lightworker (2021), This is What Democracy Looks Like (2021), It’s Going to Be Biblical (2022), and Great Awakenings (2020).
The knitter and artist, who entered the public consciousness during the Bush era, is making new work that is as politically potent as ever.
Now living in Los Angeles, Auerbach is an artist working with language and communication. She started knitting sweaters with messages after realizing they made a perfect canvas. “One of my intentions with this work is being able to have a conversation about topical issues that are less confrontational and a little more cozy like a sweater,” said Auerbach.
Read The Political Side of Knitting in this month's I.O. Donna Magazine, Italian publication. Prominently featuring Lisa Anne Auerbach's Healing America, the article discusses the revolutionary tactics of textile artists.

As Frieze LA takes over Paramount Studios in February, Conceptual Artist, Lisa Anne AUerbach Presents "Psychic Art Advisor", an interactive performance offering visitors guidance, both creative and commercial. Executive Director of Frieze LA, Bettina Korek checks in with Auerbach in advance of the persentation.

If you’ve even been to a dinner party with great food and even better conversation, you’ll know what it’s like to visit “Flaming June VII: Flaming Creatures” at Gavlak in Los Angeles. The exhibition of 34 pieces by 27 artists mixes art of all shapes and stripes to form a freewheeling feast. Lively back-and-forths take on lives of their own as they inspire, challenge and satisfy — often deeply and dramatically.
The sixth floor of the Beverly Center shopping mall in LA might seem like a weird spot for smart art with an activist edge, but artist Lisa Anne Auerbach is used to making powerful statements in unexpected places. She's known for knitting protest sweaters with slogans like "Keep Abortion Legal" and "My favorite thing about the war on terror is the language of the war on terror—exaggeration, obfuscation, hyperbole, sound byte, doublespeak, nonsense, bad grammar."
Stitched into the Macy’s wing of the Beverly Center — now an eyesore of construction scaffolding and detour signage due to a massive renovation — is recently installed art by Lisa Anne Auerbach to temper the clutter. The temporary, site-specific work, “Strik Strikke, 2017,” is a mural more than 1,000 feet long depicting intricate knitting patterns rendered in candy-colored hues and a pixelated effect.
