Artist

Laurie Simmons

Laurie Simmons (born in New York City, 1949) is an American artist known for psychologically charged, constructed photographs and films using dolls, dummies, props, miniatures, interiors, and live models. A key figure of The Pictures Generation, she emerged in the late 1970s alongside women challenging male-dominated formalism. Her work, marked by humor and pathos, examines artifice and truth, public and private life, and the formation of identity amid consumerism, domesticity, and image-making.
