Catherine Opie
Catherine Opie was born in 1961 in Ohio. She received her MFA from CalArts in 1988. Her solo exhibitions include LA Freeways (San Francisco) and Being and Having (New York). Her work has appeared in group exhibitions from Paris to Australia to New Orleans, including the 1995 Whitney Museum Biennial in New York and In a Different Light at the University Art Museum in Berkeley in 1995. She lives in Los Angeles and is on the staff of the University of California, Irvine.
She often identified with the lesbian sex radicals, documents subcultural ambiance in Los Angeles, pushing the limits of propriety with self-portraits in sadomasochistic leather, chains, and piercings and with images or words scratched into her skin. Although her images are often life-sized color prints, lesbians more often encounter the images reproduced small and in black and white. It is significant that one of her more transgressive images was included in the 1995 Whitney Museum Biennial.
