Rachel Harrison (born 1966, New York) is a sculptor based in New York.
Harrison's work has been seen in many exhibitions including: ‘Posh Floored as Ali G Tackles Beck’ at Arndt & Partner in Berlin, ‘Should home windows or shutters be required to withstand a direct hit from an eight-foot-long two-by-four shot from a cannon at 34 miles (55 km) an hour, without creating a hole big enough to let through a three-inch (76 mm) sphere?’ at Arena Gallery in Brooklyn, ‘Sleeping Waters’ in Chantal Crousel in Paris and ‘24 Seven’ at Galerie Klaus Peter Goebel in Stuttgart.
She is represented by Greene Naftali in New York.
She most recently received the Calder Prize and residency. Her work collapsing sculpture and painting into raw hybrid totems might be thought of as carrying on the legacy of Alexander Calder's vividly painted stabiles and mobiles.
