Jo Baer engaged in a commitment to painting for over five decades.

In the 1960s and 70s, she explored non-objectivity in her black and white hard-edge paintings as part of the New York Minimalist movement. She left New York for Europe in 1975, eventually settling in Amsterdam after years spent in Ireland and London. Through the course of her practice in Europe, Baer’s work shifted away from pure abstraction, gradually adding figural elements, text, images and symbols.

Baer has been the subject of one-artist exhibitions at institutions worldwide, including the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York (1975); Van Abbemuseum, Eindhoven, the Netherlands (1978, 1986); Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam (1986, 1999, 2013); Dia Art Foundation, New York (2002); Secession, Vienna (2008); Museum Ludwig, Cologne, Germany (2013); Camden Art Centre, London (2015); MAMCO – Museum of Contemporary Art, Geneva (2022); Dia Beacon, New York (2022); and the Irish Museum of Modern Art, Dublin (2023–2024).

Significant recent group exhibitions include Busan Biennale, Busan Museum of Art, South Korea (2012); Bienal de São Paulo, Brazil (2014); Selections from the Permanent Collection, Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles (2014); Drawing Dialogues: Selections from the Sol LeWitt Collection, The Drawing Center, New York (2016); Whitney Biennial, Whitney Museum of American Art, New York (2016); Calder to Kelly, Kunstmuseum Winterthur, Switzerland (2017); The Absent Museum, WIELS, Brussels (2017); Making Space: Women Artists and Postwar Abstraction, The Museum of Modern Art, New York (2017); LandEscape, Katonah Museum of Art, New York (2019); Our House, The Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles (2021–2023); and Of Mythic Worlds, The Drawing Center, New York (2023). Her works are included in numerous public collections, such as the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles; Museum MMK fur Moderne Kunst, Frankfurt; The Museum of Modern Art, New York; and Tate, London.
