Patricia Cronin talks about Harriet Hosmer, the inspiration behind her new series of prints

'While I was thinking about my own death, I discovered someone else's life,' she tells Artspace.

For over 30 years critically acclaimed artist Patricia Cronin has forged a unique multi-disciplinary conceptual and feminist art practice that breathes new life into historical art images and forms by infusing them with contemporary content including gender, sexuality, and equality. By subverting time-honored materials from intimate watercolor paintings, ready-made fabric installations up to monumental bronze and marble Classical sculptures, Cronin’s work addresses the intersection of human rights of women and LGBTQ+ people and representation.
