Kazuko Miyamoto (b. 1942, Tokyo) is a Japanese-born American visual and performance artist based in New York, associated with feminist art, minimalism and postminimalism. She studied at the Contemporary Art Research Studio in Tokyo from 1962 to 1964, then emigrated to New York, where she studied at the Art Students League until 1968. Combining formalist minimalism with a foregrounding of the artist's hand, her work offers subtle, ironic commentary on the masculinity of male-dominated minimalism, and she has been called "a preeminent feminist figure of minimalism."
