Polly Apfelbaum Born in 1955 in Abington (USA). Lives and works in New York (USA). "Red Desert" (1996). As a prolongation to her pictural research on form, Polly Apfelbaum also participates in the debate on the subject of woman. Using materials that are typically feminine (in this case, velvet in shimmering colours), she carries through an effective renewal of the discourse of feminist artists.
