Meet The Artists - Michael Rakowitz
Following the US invasion of Iraq in 2003, 8,000 artifacts went missing from the National Museum in Baghdad - an event widely regarded, recalls Michael Rakowitz, as a 'loss for all of humanity'. Since 2007, the Chicago-based artist has been painstakingly recreating these lost artworks one at a time, using the packaging of Middle Eastern convenience food available in the US.
Meet The Artists - Christo and Jeanne-Claude
In 1980, Christo and his wife and long-standing collaborator Jeanne-Claude embarked on a project that many thought would never see the light of day. For Surrounded Islands, the couple set out to ring 11 human-made islands in Miami's Biscayne Bay with 6.5 million square feet of floating, bright pink, woven polypropylene fabric.
Meet The Artists - Judy Chicago
'Humankind is represented by mankind ... Fake news!', said Judy Chicago, laughing, when she met Art Basel's video team at the Institute of Contemporary Art Miami. Most of the artist's forty-year-long career has been spent debunking that myth. Her best-known work, The Dinner Party (1974-1979), celebrates the role of women throughout history.
