Natalie White "Quantum Collapse"

Natalie White is a provocative artist and feminist activist whose work–featured in more than 20 solo exhibitions and collected by several museums–spans such varied modes of expression as self-portraiture, sculpture, embroidery, abstract paintings, works on paper and performance.

A native of West Virginia, she arrived in New York as a wide-eyed 17- year-old and, almost by accident, became a muse for such prominent visual artists as Peter Beard, Spencer Tunick, George Condo and even Sean Lennon before harnessing her fierce drive and unapologetic spirit to her own creations. She has performed at the Art Basel Miami Women in Art in collaboration with the Brooklyn Museum’s Elizabeth Sackler Center.

As Vice President of Equal Means Equal, an organization that lobbies for the enactment of the Equal Rights Amendment, she presented the “Natalie White for Equal Rights” show at the Hole in 2015 and the following year led a 16-day, 250-mile march from NYC to Washington, D.C., to promote the fight for the ERA to be included in the Constitution.

White’s works have been acquired by the Sackler Center and the Carnegie Museum of Art and are in the private collections of William T. Hillman, Lawrence Benenson, Maurice Marciano, The Mugrabi Collection and Eric Schmidt.
