Portraits of 8 New York Women

Eleanor Antin

May 07 – Jun 12, 1998

Eleanor Antin

Portrait of Rochelle Owens, 1971

Description

One of the few women conceptualists, Antin assembled her Portraits of 8 New York Women from new consumer
goods, evoking both the pop sensibility of the day and the comic pathos arising from the tacky nature of mass
produced American products. These assemblages were intended as unsentimental representations of the portrait
subjects – independent women with whom Antin shared a common ground of experience. As a young feminist,
Antin considered the nature of woman as subject, representing these women’s actions and life choices rather
than their bodily appearance as in traditional art practice. These tightly structured conceptual portraits presage
Antin’s preoccupation with fictive personas and theatrical stagings
