Hermine Freed (May 29, 1940 New York City November 21, 1998 New York City) was an American painter and video artist.[1]

Life and work

Freed studied painting at Cornell University and New York University, where she taught starting from the late 1960s. In 1972 she became a professor for video art at the School of Visual Arts in New York. In 1967, she married the architect James Ingo Freed (1930–2005).[2]

Initially she filmed artist portraits, beginning with James Rosenquist. Although WNYC did not broadcast the portrait, she was not discouraged and produced a whole series. Apart from her documentary work she created videos that artistically negotiated female subjectivity and self-perception. In 1972 she participated in the exhibition Circuit: A Video Invitational at the Everson Museum of Art, curated by David Ross. Two Faces (1973) and Art Herstory (1974) are two of her most notable works.[3]
