Louise Odes Neaderland

In 1991 Tom Trusky, Director of the Idaho Center for the Book, interviewed and videotaped Neaderland in her studio at 800 West End Avenue in NYC, where her studio was located from 1967-1994. Roy Proctor, art critic for the Richmond News-Leader, said of Neaderland in a 1990 review of the exhibition Art ex Machina at 1708 Gallery, then located in Shockoe Bottom in Richmond, Virginia, "She's living proof that, when a new technology begins to be mass-produced, artists will be curious enough--and imaginative enough--to explore its creative uses." In 1994 Proctor also reviewed Art ex Libris, a curated invitational exhibition of artist's books, including books by Neaderland, at Artspace in Richmond, Virginia, then on Broad Street in Richmond Virginia. Artspace received a Virginia Commission for the Arts Technical Assistance Grant to produce video documentation of all the exhibited books in Art ex Libris, including those by Neaderland.

Neaderland began using the photocopier for making art during a residency at Women's Studio Workshop, WSW, in 1972 and received a residency grant from WSW in 1982. By the 1980s she had gained international recognition in the field of xerography. In 1982, Neaderland founded the International Society of Copier Artists in New York City[]. She is the author/artist of many xerographic limited edition books, some of which are still available to private collectors. Later books by Neaderland include Where Could the Dark Matter Be? and a compilation, Original Contributions, of her original pages contributed to the International Society of Copier Artists ISCA portfolios.

Neaderland is an alumna of Bard College (1954) and received a Master of Fine Arts degree in printmaking from the University of Iowa in 1957. In 1952, she was awarded a Yale University Norfolk Fellowship in Printmaking. In both 1960 and 1962 she received fellowship awards from the Huntington Hartford Foundation. In 1986 she was awarded a National Endowment for the Arts grant for artists' bookmaking.
