Anna Held Audette was many things to many people: a revered precisionist painter of the late twentieth century; an admired professor of printmaking and drawing; a cherished mentor to generations of art students; an engaging author who helped other artists find their voices; a beloved wife and mother, and, in the final chapter of her life, an artist whose profound impulse to create transcended great challenge.
Born on July 16th, 1938, Audette was the daughter of Julius Held, an art history professor at Barnard and renowned authority on 16th century Netherlandish art, and Ingrid-Märta Held (née Petterson and known as Pim), the chief of Conservation at the New York Historical Society.
Audette grew up in a rarified artistic environment. Her parents’ social circle included leading art historians, critics and intellectuals of their day, from Erwin Panofksy, known for his studies in iconography, to Charles Scribner, the publisher of works by Hemingway and Fitzgerald.
