                        About the Artist
                    Rosemary Mayer (1943-2014) was a seminal American artist whose multi-faceted practice profoundly influenced conceptual and feminist art during the 1970s. Best known for her evocative fabric sculptures and ephemeral outdoor installations, Mayer’s work transcended traditional art forms, emphasizing process, impermanence, and the personal. Her sculptures, often constructed from dyed and draped fabrics, explored notions of soft monumentality, challenging patriarchal structures within art history. Mayer’s deep engagement with themes of memory, mourning, autobiography, and the passage of time found expression in her diaries and her detailed mapping of events and emotions. Her enduring legacy lies in her pioneering approach to material and her profound commitment to intellectual and personal inquiry within her artistic output.
