Carolee Schneemann belongs to the record of art as a figure whose work outlasted the taste that first received it.
The record lists Carolee Schneemann as American visual experimental artist (1939–2019).
Carolee Schneemann was born at Fox Chase in 1939. Her recorded nationality is United States. She trained at University of Illinois System and Bard College.
Twentieth-century art was international, heavily theorised and increasingly conceptual, with the market growing alongside it.
She worked as performance artist, choreographer and painter.
Her recorded movement is fluxus and feminist art.
Art history is a record of what got kept, which is not the same as what was best.
That the work was made in United States shaped it: artistic traditions, academies and the galleries that decide what is seen have never been evenly distributed.
Carolee Schneemann died in 2019, aged 80. The work remains, hanging in collections that outlived both the artist and the market that first priced it.
