Vanessa Beecroft is an Italian-born artist recognized for her provocative performance-based works that blur the boundaries between visual art, fashion, and social commentary. Often featuring live female models arranged in choreographed formations, her performances confront issues of beauty, identity, and the politics of the gaze. Beecroft’s practice also includes photography and video, which document and extend the impact of her ephemeral events. She has presented her work internationally in museums, galleries, and public spaces. Beecroft lives and works in Los Angeles.
