Conceptual art photography Sarah Charlesworth

Sarah Edwards Charlesworth (March 29, 1947 – June 25, 2013) was an American conceptual artist and photographer. She is considered part of The Pictures Generation, a loose-knit group of artists working in New York in the late 1970s and early 1980s, all of whom were concerned with how images shape our everyday lives and society as a whole.





Charlesworth worked in photographic series, but stated in a 1990 interview that she had not really thought of herself as a photographer. She stated, rather, that she viewed her work as investigating questions about the world and her role in it, but realized as of that point that she had been investigating those questions through the medium of photography for the past twelve years.Wikipedia





Charlesworth’s work was the subject of more than 40 solo exhibitions at institutions around the world, including the Centre d’art contemporain, Geneva (1977) and the Queens Museum of Art, New York (1992). Her work was also featured in the Whitney Biennial (1985) and the Venice Biennale (1986).(artnet)
