Ilona Granet

Ilona Granet (born 1948) is a contemporary American artist. Granet is known for her works that stem from experience as a signpainter.[1] As a feminist she has collaborated with local communities and the New York City Department of Transportation for (NYCDOT) her most renowned works which addressed women's safety in the streets.[2][3] Her work is included in the collections of the Whitney Museum of American Art[4] and the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts.[5] She also appears in the 1984 super8 film by Kiki Smith and Ellen Cooper entitled Cave Girls (film).[6]

Created and hung through 1980 to 1985 for Franklin Furnace Archive, Inc.
