2. Born in Louisiana, USA, in 1941, I am popularly known as one of the grande dames of American sculptureand was once deemed the enfant terrible of the New York School.

My often controversial work has been categorised as everything from expressionist, feminist and exhibitionist to Pop, funk, minimalist, and post-minimalist. As a result of one of my stunts, posing naked in a well known art magazine, the phallus as a political gesture is now often conflated with my name. Although I am best known for sculpture, in the mid 1970's I also executed a number of video works. Who am I?
