About Zanne Hochberg, Ted Pillsbury, art expert and former Director of the Kimball and Meadows Museums reflected: "I think she (Zanne Hochberg) was the kind of person who never wanted to be pinned down to a school or a particular style. Her art was a means of expressing something about herself, her feelings, her life and the world, and beauty and truth; and, she produced a very solid body of work. I think arguably, over time, some of her work is going to be recognized as being very important, influential and progressive. Hochberg was a prolific artist who was best known for her abstract paintings. She referenced human figures in many pieces, and worked in other media including prints, works on paper and constructions. Hochberg spent the final decade of her life painting historical family portraits, which received much acclaim when exhibited in a 2011 museum retrospective at the San Angelo Museum of Fine Arts in San Angelo, Texas. During Hochberg's lifetime, she enjoyed a strong following, exhibited paintings in many distinguished galleries and museums, and appreciated the acquisition of her work into important private and public collections, including the Dallas Museum of Art (1980).
