Erica Baum (born 1961) is an American photographer who lives and works in New York City. She is known for her work that uses printed paper and language as subject,[1] in a form of word art.[2]
Early life and education
[edit | edit source]Baum was born in New York City in 1961.[1]
She received a BA in anthropology from Barnard College in 1984. She also received an MA in TESOL/applied linguistics from Hunter College in 1988, and an MFA in photography from Yale University in 1994.[citation needed]
Work
[edit | edit source]Baum's work is characterized by a cropped, close-up style that captures the material details of subjects, ranging from chalkboards to library card catalogues, book pages and newspaper.[1] Her composition of these details and her use of language has been compared to concrete poetry.[3]
Baum's work is in the collections of the Albright-Knox Art Gallery,[4] Metropolitan Museum of Art,[5] the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum,[1] Whitney Museum of American Art[6] and the Yale University Art Gallery,[7] among others.[8]
