That dabbling includes writing, composing, photography, painting and filmmaking. Her ground-breaking work encompasses Performance Art and multimedia projects, blending the avant-garde and popular culture.
The largest-ever US exhibition of her pioneering, five-decade career is now on view at the Hirshhorn Museum in Washington Dc until 31 July, 2022.
