Nam June Paik, Wolf Vostell, John Cage, Robert Rauschenberg, and many others are known to have come into contact with her and her work at various points. Many of those artists were members alongside her of a movement known as Fluxus, which was begun in the 1960s as a riposte to bourgeois aesthetics. Their works took the form of assemblages of everyday objects that were combined in ways that looked nothing like traditional painting and sculpture. Bauermeister’s most famous works are her “lens boxes,” which are composed of glass elements and stones displayed in eye-popping arrangements.
