MIRIAM SCHAPIRO Untitled. Femmage (acrylic, paper and fabric collage), 2003. 660x565 mm; 26x22 1/4 inches. Signed and dated in ink, lower right recto. Schapiro (also known as Mimi) (1923-2015) was a Canadian-born artist based in the United States. She was a painter, sculptor, printmaker, and a pioneer of feminist art. She is also considered a leader of the Pattern and Decoration art movement. Schapiro's artwork blurs the line between fine art and craft. She incorporated craft elements into her paintings due to their association with women and femininity. Schapiro's work touches on the issue of feminism and art: especially in the aspect of feminism in relation to abstract art. Provenance: Private collection, Massachusetts.
