Amy Dempsey was born in 1963. She lived in 17 different places before the age of 10.[1] She was an early member of the Oakview Exhibitional Club, where she excelled at unicycle, German gym wheel and triple balancing, among other arts.[citation needed] She also was a 4-H Fair sewing champion, winning numerous blue ribbons and attending the Virginia State Fair on more than one occasion.[citation needed] She was particularly known for the infamous "yellow dress," whose hem required many yards of painstaking needlework. She studied at Hunter College in New York under Rosalind Krauss before receiving her PhD from the Courtauld Institute in London on the subject of The friendship of America and France: A new internationalism, 1961–1965.[2]
Dempsey's first book was Styles, schools and movements, published by Thames & Hudson in 2002, which has been translated into several languages. A second expanded edition was published in 2010.[3][4] Her second book was Destination art (2006) on the subject of land art.[5][6][7]
