Kiki Smith

A self taught artist, Kiki Smith received no formal training. She worked with and learned from a New York-based cooperative called Collaborative Projects in the 1970’s. Her pieces look at topics such as anatomy, self portraiture, nature, and sexuality. She briefly studied to be an emergency medical technician in 1985, which inspired her interest in human anatomy. This interest is reflected in Untitled 2, a lithograph of kidneys.
