Mierle Laderman Ukeles
US-American artist
Mierle Laderman Ukeles (born 1939) is a New York City-based artist known for her feminist and service-oriented artworks, which relate the idea of process in conceptual art to domestic and civic "maintenance".[1][2][3][4] Since 1977, she has been the Artist in Residence (unsalaried) of the New York City Department of Sanitation.[5]
Personal life and education
Born in Denver, Colorado,[6] Ukeles is Jewish and the daughter of a rabbi.[7] As an undergraduate, Ukeles studied history and international studies at Barnard College and later began her artistic training at the Pratt Institute in New York in 1962.[1] Her time at the Pratt Institute came with controversy, as her artworks (bulbous-like sculptures at the time) were deemed "over-sexed".
While one of her teachers, Robert Richenburg,[8] resigned in protest, she left the school shortly after. Sh
