In 2005, Scheibitz represented Germany at the 51st Venice Biennale alongside Tino Sehgal, a major international platform for contemporary art.

The Moody Center for the Arts at Rice University describes Hood as “a pioneering figure in Mexican and American Modernist painting,” noting that Pablo Neruda introduced her to José Clemente Orozco, who became her mentor and gave her her first studio. After returning to Houston, Hood became an important figure in the Texas art world while developing the large-scale abstractions for which she is now best known. Public Art of the University of Houston notes that her canvases and works on paper often referenced physical and mental landscapes, as well as “the connections between inner and outer worlds.” Her work is held in major collections, including the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, and the Menil Collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"Tresecco","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48499213860964,"sku":"SIM51626-DorothyHoodMoon","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/0080\/8292\/files\/33.png?v=1780348382"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/0080\/8292\/collections\/TheHideaway-2_daba64a1-7005-436f-b00a-32598b1cac27.jpg?v=1788382974","url":"https:\/\/tresecco.com\/collections\/art.oembed","provider":"Tresecco","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
