Anne Collier (b. 1970, Los Angeles, CA; lives in New York, NY) draws from a range of sources—including magazines, record albums, books, calendars, and film strips—to make photographs that highlight the clichés embedded in familiar imagery. A continuation of her longstanding and revered conceptual practice, this still life underscores Collier’s interests in the history and culture of photography and the complex dynamics of gender, power, and seeing. The MCA presented a major survey of Collier's work in 2014. Other solo exhibitions include presentations at Institute of Contemporary Art Miami; Sprengel Museum, Hanover, Germany; and Nottingham Contemporary, United Kingdom. Collier participated in the 2010 Gwangju Biennale and the 2006 Whitney Biennial. The MCA Collection has several works by Collier, and her work is in many other museum collections around the world.
