Art21 proudly presents an artist segment, featuring Mary Heilmann, from the "Fantasy" episode in Season 5 of the "Art in the Twenty-First Century" series.
"Fantasy" premiered in October 2009 on PBS.
Mary Heilmann relays youthful fantasies of wanting to be a Catholic martyr, her childhood dream to become an artist, as well as the antagonism she experienced in school when transitioning from pottery to painting. Shown completing a new body of work, the segment begins in the artist’s secluded Bridgehampton studio on Long Island.
Mary Heilmann was born in 1940 in San Francisco, California. Learn more about the artist at: art21.org/arti...
