Lutz Bacher lived in Berkeley, California and later New York City. As an artist, Bacher spent her life grappling with the political and psychic undertow of the last American century. A number of the subjects in Burning the Days are iconic American symbols: presidents, bison, widows, weapons, and would be assassins. Her art was animated from this violent outside, but much also emerged from questions inside, twinkling with a more intimate and existential register\u2014Who might Lutz Bacher be?  What might she do as an artist? What might her art mean right now, or later?  \u201cLittle of her work is easy to understand, but nearly all of it is easy to love.\u201d \u2013 Alex Greenberger, Senior Editor, ARTnews\">v.svarstad@afmuseet.no <\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-wide\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Marit Eikemo <\/strong>(f. 1971) er fra Odda og bor i Bergen.
