Andrea Fraser Exhibitions and paintings at Saatchi-Gallery

Andrea Fraser was born 1965 in Billings, Montana. Andrea Fraser’s untitled series from a project that was completed in 1984, which consisted of a slide collection of overlapping images of works by old masters with famous artists of the 20th century. Having reconstructed these images as photographs, pieces such as Untitled (de Kooning / Raphael) # 1 examine the polemics of feminism, historical revisionism, and artistic authenticity. Here, traces de Kooning’s violently rendered figure scars of the Virgin and Child, the merger of two disparate examples of the subjectivity of women in art history as a Frankenstein-ish fusion. Printed in poster size, Fraser highlights the problems of sexual marketing and consumption of images.
Andrea Fraser’s Untitled (de Kooning / Raphael) # 2, La Virgen De Kooning sitting and synthesize expressionist figure to become almost indistinguishable; modern abstraction show icon angelica brutal battle charred and heated. Presented as a photographic image of the second generation, Untitled Fraser lose detail of the original painting masterpieces, transforming the aura of the artistic integrity of the language and means mechanized fetishist. For his act of appropriation, Fraser explores the artistic heritage property line of his writings while criticizing its historical prejudices.
