life and work

After graduating from high school, Renate Bertlmann studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna from 1964 to 1970 , was a lecturer there from 1970 to 1982 and has been working as a freelancer since 1970. She belongs to the feminist avant-garde of the early 1970s.

Bertlmann works with a wide variety of media, such as drawings, images, objects, installations, photography, photo films, videos and is considered a pioneer of performance art . In the 1970s she developed an ironic style in which she explored female role models, sexuality, motherhood and gender relations. In the 1980s she incorporated kitsch and pornography into her work.

In 2007 she received the City of Vienna Prize for Fine Arts and is represented in the City of Vienna Collection. She is a member of the Vienna Secession and the Lower Austrian photo initiative FLUSS. She represented Austria at the 58th Venice Art Biennale in 2019. She was the first artist to perform a solo exhibition in the Austrian pavilion.

She has been married to the physicist Reinhold Bertlmann since 1969 .
