Betye Saar

Betye Saar, who didn’t become an artist until the age of 46, creates hypnotic multimedia collages, assemblages, altars, and installations incorporating “black collectibles” and other found materials referencing both the spiritual and technological. Throughout her career Saar has engaged with a practice which, in addition to opposing male chauvinist and Euro-centric thinking, supports a humanistic perspective that reconsiders notions of the individual, family, community and society.
