Synopsis: Under Pressure from 2006 to 2007 was published on the occasion of Hungarian artist, musician, and performer Rita Ackermann’s inclusion in the 2008 Whitney Biennial. It is a collection of recent collage work in which Ackermann deftly combines newspaper clippings, paintings, drawings, and images of women throughout art history to create powerful totems of female sexuality and physicality. Writing in The New York Times, Roberta Smith described the collage works thus: “Ms. Ackermann is equally at home with scissors or ballpoint pen; with finely rendered figures and poetic phrases or words and images clipped from newspapers and magazines; and with clogged compositions or spare ones. Women--as victors, victims or silent witnesses--appear in all situations.”
