Lutz Bacher
Lutz Bacher is an artist closely associated with Berkeley, California since the 1970s, and who now lives and works in New York.[1] The name Lutz Bacher is a pseudonym, and the artist does not publicly reveal a former name.[2] She was once considered a figure with "cult" status—known for being "legendary but elusive" in the California art scene[3]—but as of the first few years of the 2010s has increasingly gained mainstream recognition.[4][5][6][7]
Themes
Bacher's body of work has been described as "eclectic,"[3] "rough, open-ended,"[2] and "disturbing."[6] It consists of works in a variety of formats, including videotapes, photographs, and other mixed media.[5] Many of these works incorporate elements from popular culture, personal artifacts, and found objects, and address questions of identity as expressed through sexuality and the human body.[7][8]
Exhibitions
Over a 40-year career, Bacher has exhibited work in numerous solo and group shows around the world, including galleries in her native San Francisco Bay area such as the Berkeley Art Museum[8] and the Ratio 3 gallery in San Francisco.[9] In 2009, her multimedia works were featured in MY SECRET LIFE, a retrospective—her first museum survey exhibition—at P.S.1 MoMA in New York.[10]
Bacher was the focus of three European exhibitions in 2013: one at Portikus in Frankfurt, Germany; one at the Institute of Contemporary Arts in London, UK; and the third at Kunsthalle Zürich in Zürich, Switzerland. Those three galleries will publish an artist book presenting Bacher's complete oeuvre.[7]
