Biography

Sarah Gold, an art historian who transitioned into creating art and became an independent curator for ten years before focusing solely on her artistic endeavours.
Throughout her career, she organized various symposia and exhibitions, collaborating with prominent artists such as Yoko Ono and Lawrence Weiner. During a decade of her life, she documented intimate moments, challenging hypocrisy through her art by depicting her real life and aspects that are not commonly seen in public.

Her work is a reflection of her personal life and experiences, including sexual interactions with others, the use of toys, and other objects that intrigue her.
These elements are combined with text or assembled into assemblages, aiming to reflect and comment on her life.
The ultimate goal is to create positive acceptance of issues that are typically kept hidden from the public eye, promoting freedom, reducing shame, and broadening horizons.

As an artist and art historian, Sarah Gold is committed to using her creative expression to push societal boundaries and advocate for greater understanding and acceptance of diverse experiences. Her art may serve as a platform for challenging norms and encouraging open conversations about topics that are often stigmatized or overlooked.
