Artist

Rosemary Mayer

Rosemary Mayer was an American artist working primarily in fiber, collage, and installation from the 1970s onward. Her practice engaged textile traditions and domestic materials as vehicles for feminist inquiry and formal experimentation. Working across sculpture, drawing, and site-specific installation, Mayer developed a distinctive vocabulary of knotted, woven, and layered forms that challenged conventional hierarchies between craft and fine art. Her work occupied a crucial position in postwar artistic discourse around materiality and gender.
