Andrea Fraser lives and works in Los Angeles, CA, US. As a conceptual artist, she works across the media of performance, video, photography, text, and sculpture. Committed to the artistic practice of institutional critique since the mid-1980s and informed by psychoanalysis and sociology, her work examines the entanglement of social, political, financial, and emotional investments in the art field.
Retrospectives of her work have been presented by the Museum Ludwig Cologne (2013), Museum der Moderne Salzburg (2015), Museum of Contemporary Art Barcelona/MUAC UNAM Mexico City (2016) and Zachęta National Gallery of Art, Warsaw (2025). Her books include Museum Highlights: The Writings of Andrea Fraser (2005); 2016 in Museums, Money, and Politics (2018), and Andrea Fraser: Collected Interviews 1990-2018 (2019). Her video Official Welcome (2001/2003) is in the collection of the Nationalgalerie.
