Keith Edmier and Farrah Fawcett: Recasting Pygmalion

Farrah Fawcett; Lynn Zelevansky; Los Angeles County Museum of Art; Keith Edmier

Synopsis:
As a teenager, contemporary artist Keith Edmier remembers reading in Tigerbeat magazine that his favorite TV star, Farrah Fawcett, was an artist. Twenty years later, he asked her to collaborate on a project-she accepted. After nine months in a studio together, the two produced this body of sculpture and photography.

With an eye to historical tradition, this collaboration brings to mind other potent artist/muse collaborations such as Rodin and Claudel, or Stieglitz and O'Keeffe, and explores that curious reversal when the artist's subject becomes the artist herself.

An exhibition of the works will debut at Los Angeles County Museum of Art in November 2002 and travel around the country.
