Deborah Remington (b. 1930, Haddonfield, NJ, USA; d. 2010, Moorestown, NJ, USA) is a painter whose influence and legacy continues to grow in the years following her death. Her aesthetic evolved from Abstract Expressionism to iconic abstractions with slick, hard-edged forms and subtle gradient shifts. In her later period, she returned to a looser, gestural paint application that she maintained through the end of her life. For nearly 50 years, she used a palette which rarely deviated from black, white, red, blue and green.

Remington was born in the Philadelphia suburbs. She began her career in San Francisco as a student of Clyfford Still and Elmer Bischoff. Following a period living in Japan, she permanently relocated to New York in 1965. During her lifetime, Remington exhibited at prestigious galleries such as the Dilexi Gallery in San Francisco, the Bykert Gallery in New York and Galerie Darthea Speyer in Paris.

In 1983 a two-decade retrospective curated by Paul Schimmel opened at the Orange County Museum of Art in Southern California, traveling to the Oakland Museum. Posthumously, her work has been exhibited at the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; Berkeley Art Museum; SFMoMA, San Francisco; Whitechapel Gallery, London; Kunsthalle Wien, Vienna; Mudam, Luxembourg; Addison Gallery of American Art, Andover, MA; Museum Barberini, Potsdam, Germany; Albertina Modern, Vienna, Austria, among others.
