Keith Milow is a British artist, born in London (1945), grew up in Baldock, Hertfordshire, lived in New York City (1980–2002) and Amsterdam (2002-2014), now lives in London. He is an abstract sculptor, as well as a painter and printmaker. His work has been characterized as architectural, monumental, procedural, enigmatic and poetical.
Keith Milow was educated at Knights Templar School in Baldock, Camberwell School of Art, 1962–1967, and Royal College of Art, 1967-1968. In 1970 he received a Gregory Fellowship from Leeds University, which was followed in 1972 by a Harkness Fellowship to the USA. Awards included the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation award (1976), the Arts Council of Great Britain major award (1979), and the Edward Albee Foundation award (1983).
During the 1970s, Milow was considered part of the British artistic avant-garde along with artists such as Richard Long, Gilbert & George, Michael Craig-Martin, Mark Lancaster, Tim Head, Nicholas Pope, John Walker, David Tremlett, Barry Flanagan, Art & Language and Derek Jarman. According to art historian Jo Melvin, Milow "helped to shape and define a critical period of new and experimental art practices in Britain when the distinctions between painting and sculpture and equally importantly between figuration and abstract collapsed".
