Hannah Wilke
1940–1993
The works of American photographer, performance and video artist, and sculptor Hannah Wilke, born Arlene Hannah Butler in New York, are known for explorations of sexuality, gender, and feminism through forms that are either suggestive of the female body or that explicitly depict it. Considered the first feminist artist to use vaginal imagery in her work, Wilke began in the 1970s to use her own body in performances documented by photographs and video that she dubbed “performalist self-portraits.” IntraVenus, a group of photographs documenting her experience with cancer, was exhibited posthumously at Ronald Feldman Fine Arts in 1994.
