BIOGRAPHY

Hannah Wilke, born Arlene Hannah Butter in 1940, was a pioneering figure in the intersection of art and feminism, known for her innovative use of video and performance to challenge societal norms around female identity. Her film *Hannah's Haircut* (1975) is a compelling exploration of self-image and sexuality, showcasing her unique approach to performance art that resonates with collectors of physical media. This work, alongside her earlier pieces like *Gestures* (1974), where she engaged in provocative body manipulation, has made her a sought-after name in the realms of both film and feminist art. Collectors value Wilke's contributions not only for their artistic merit but also for their historical significance within the feminist movement. Her works, including her iconic *S.O.S. Starification Object Series*, provoke discussions around the portrayal of women's bodies in media and art. As a result, physical media releases of her films, including limited editions and retrospectives, have become prized items for those who appreciate the nuanced dialogue she created around femininity and sexuality.
