Description:

The artist was represented in Information, MoMA's landmark 1970 exhibition of Conceptual art, by a typewritten page that revealed nothing about her race or gender. In a series of nude and seminude photographs taken in a mirror one year later, Piper faced the visual facts of her difference, which contributed both to her marginalization in the art world and to her increasingly radical stance toward its institution.
