Bauermeister, who passed away in 2023, was at the core of a group of avant-garde artists working in the postwar era. Nam June Paik, Wolf Vostell, John Cage, Robert Rauschenberg, and many others are known to have come into contact with her and her work at various points.
Many of those artists were members alongside her of a movement known as Fluxus, which was begun in the 1960s as a riposte to bourgeois aesthetics. Their works took the form of assemblages of everyday objects that were combined in ways that looked nothing like traditional painting and sculpture.
Bauermeister’s most famous works are her “lens boxes,” which are composed of glass elements and stones displayed in eye-popping arrangements.
MARY BAUERMEISTER BIOGRAPHY:
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.
