Alison Saar, like her mother Betye Saar, is a sculptor and assemblage artist. Born in Los Angeles, California in 1956 of a White father--an artist, conservator--and Black, Irish, Native American mother, Alison Saar's work tends to reflect the cultural aspects of her mother. The artist now lives in New York City.
Saar received a B.A. degree in studio art and art history in 1978 from Scripps College, Claremont, California, studying with Dr. Samuella Lewis, an African-American art historian. (showing 500 of 2198 characters). |
