Victoria Burge

Burge’s drawings and prints explore geometric combinations and patterned sequences through the language of maps and mathematical systems. The drawings and objects in Notations reference a variety of mathematical systems- weaving codes, numeric sequences, and children’s games- to explore patterns as a visual language. Composed of infinite combinations, these patterned arrangements identify universes of connectivity through metered marks.

Recent exhibitions include Victoria Burge: Notations, Planthouse Gallery, New York (2019); Selections from the Department of Drawing and Prints: Hidden and Displayed, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York (2018); Penumbra, the Print Center, Philadelphia (2016); and The Avant-Garde Won’t Give Up: CoBrA and Its Legacy, Blum & Poe Los Angeles (2015).

Burge’s works on paper are in the permanent collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the New York Public Library, the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the British Museum, and the Hunterian Museum, Glasgow. She is a recipient of a Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant and has been awarded fellowships by the MacDowell Colony and the Josef and Anni Albers Foundation.

Burge divides her time between Peterborough, NH, Philadelphia, and Manhattan
