About the artist – Ida Applebroog

Ida Applebroog (born 1929, Bronx, NY; living and working in New York) is one of the most important feminist and politically engaged artists of the 20th and 21st centuries. With a powerful visual language that questions themes such as identity, power structures, corporeality, and social roles, she has created a body of work that garners worldwide attention.

Her works are part of the collections of leading museums, including the Whitney Museum, Guggenheim Museum, MoMA, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. She has been honored with awards such as the MacArthur Fellowship (1998) and the Lifetime Achievement Award from the College Art Association (1995) for her life's work.

Since 1955, the documenta has been regarded as one of the most important forums for international contemporary art. The 2012 edition – Documenta (13) – attracted over 900,000 visitors to Kassel and focused on the complex connections between art, research, politics, and societal perception. It was characterized by a global approach with locations in Kassel, Kabul, Alexandria, and Banff.

Ida Applebroog was part of this groundbreaking concept. Participation in the documenta underscores her international stature and her significance within the art historical discourse. The poster offered here was created in the context of this renowned presentation and exemplifies the intellectual and visual power of the exhibition.
