Andrea Bowers

Andrea Bowers was born in Wilmington, Ohio in 1965. She lives and works in Los Angeles, California. For over two decades, feminist artist and activist Andrea Bowers has ammassed an international reputation for her prints, paintings, drawings, videos, and installations which translate her goal of highlighting social and political injustices and those fighting against them into a unique visual language.

francesca kaufmann gallery opened in January 2000. Since then, the gallery has aimed to explore a diverse range of media, with a focus on video, site specific installation, and a special attention towards the works of female artists. After ten years in its historical location, the gallery opened in a new space in October 2010, under the name kaufmann repetto, to mark the partnership between Francesca Kaufmann and Chiara Repetto.
