I am a German art historian, taught for 20 years, but recently I mainly work as an art consultant. I live in NYC, but go often back to Berlin, where I grew up.
I am very interested in contemporary art made by woman, and I don't mean feminist art with the emphasis of the fact that we have a vagina. I noticed that from an art historian and art critical standpoint, woman make incredible work, for about 40 years now.
I would start with people like Carolee Schneemann, Valie Export, Eva Hesse, Hannah Wilke, Cindy Sherman, Ana Mendieta, Gina Pane, Marina Abramovic, Ann Hamilton, Mona Hatoum, Janine Antoni, Rineke Dijkstra, Pippilotti Rist, Sam Taylor Wood, Heide Hatry, Chrissy Conant, Regina Jose Galindo,... to name a few of the most powerful (and of my favorite) ones.
