Mary Bauermeister Biography
Mary Bauermeister is a German artist who works in sculpture, drawing, installation, performance, and music. Influenced by Fluxus artists and Nouveau Réalisme, her work addresses esoteric issues of how information is transferrable through society. “I only followed an inner drive to express what was not yet there, in reality or thought,” she said of her practice. “To make art was more a finding, searching process than a knowing.” Since the 1970s, the artist’s work has concentrated on the themes surrounding New Age spirituality, specifically geomancy, the divine interpretation of lines on the ground. Born on September 7, 1934 in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, she studied at the Ulm School of Design before moving to Cologne to work as a freelance artist. In 1962, Bauermeister moved to New York where she was influenced by avant-garde artists, including Niki de Saint Phalle, Jasper Johns, and Robert Rauschenberg. Today, her works are in the collections of the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in Washington, D.C., The Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum of Art in New York, among others. She currently lives and works in Rösrath, Germany.
