Crystal Wagner holds an MFA from the University of Tennessee. In 2013 she was awarded the highly coveted Pollock-Krasner Grant. Wagner’s interest in combining 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional forms, alternative use of materials, and massive site-specific installations, have led to her artwork being exhibited globally.
Commissions include installations for NIKE’s KOBE X Blackout Experience, Bombay Sapphire, TOYOTA, and Warner Brothers, “Get Animated Invasion,” at LA’s Grammy Museum. Her two works for Viacom, including a 117 ft piece at their headquarters in Times Square, was featured by the New York Times and VH1’s Top 20 Countdown.
