Anne Collier considers herself a still life photographer—her subjects just happen to be other photographs and found media. Collier's works dissect the conventions and clichés found in commercial photography, as well as their visual consumption. Some of her most iconic series feature record covers, photos of eyes in developing trays, photography magazine covers, advertisements, book spreads, and film heroines handling cameras. She's particularly interested in revealing the relationship between cameras, sexualized women's bodies, and the act of looking at these images. Collier is also known for her meticulous staging and lighting: all of her subjects are photographed in isolation against neutral backgrounds in her studio.
Anne Collier lives and works in New York, USA. She received a BFA from California Institute of the Arts, Valencia, CA, USA in 1993 and an MFA from University of California, Los Angeles, CA, USA in 2001. Her work is included in the collections of various institutions including MoMA, USA; The Hammer Museum, USA; Hessel Museum of Art, USA; LACMA, USA; Moderna Museet, Sweden; Museum of Contemporary Art, USA; Art Gallery of Ontario, Toronto, Canada; Centre national des arts plastique, France; Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw, Poland and etc.
