Mark Bennett

Mark Bennett's (b. 1956, Tennessee) whimsical works engage with pop culture and celebrity to an extreme degree. His blueprint lithographs of Baby Boom era sitcoms and popular television series depict the ultimate pairing of flight of fancy and stoical logic; the purely imaginary floor plans grounded by the dry format of an architect's design.

Mark Bennett is in the Public Collections of several prestigious institutions, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York, NY, and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art in Los Angeles, CA. His works are also part of the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., and the Portland Art Museum in Portland, OR. Additionally, he is represented in The Contemporary Museum in Honolulu, Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, MN, and the New York Public Library in New York, NY. Other notable collections include the Orange County Museum of Art in Newport Beach, CA, the Children’s Museum in Indianapolis, IN, and the Richard F. Brush Art Gallery at St. Lawrence University in Canton, NY. His works can also be found at the University of Colorado in Boulder, CO, and the List Visual Arts Center at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, MA. He is included in the collections of Microsoft Corporation in Redmond, WA, and the West Collection in Oaks, PA, as well as the Crocker Art Museum in Sacramento, CA, Laguna Art Museum in Laguna Beach, CA, the Marjorie Barrick Museum of Art at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, and the Nora Eccles Harrison Museum of Art at Utah State University.
