Biography

Perutz was born in Beroun, just outside of Prague, Czechoslovakia.[3][4] Perutz was Jewish; when the Germans occupied Czechoslovakia in 1938, she and her husband Tino Perutz decided to move to the United States.[5][4]

Examples of Perutz's work are included in the collections of the Whitney Museum of American Art,[2] the Brooklyn Museum,[6] the New York Public Library[7] and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.[8] Her sculpture Bird Flying Machine is part of the collection of the New York City Parks department, and is on display on the roof of the Arsenal, Central Park.[9]
