Tauba Auerbach (born 1981) is a visual artist working in many disciplines including painting, artists’ books, sculpture, and weaving who lives and works in New York.
Auerbach grew up in San Francisco, California, the child of theater designers. They apprenticed and worked as a sign painter at New Bohemia Signs in San Francisco from 2002–2005.
Auerbach’s work contends with structure and connectivity on the microscopic to the universal scale. “Engaging a variety of media, ranging from painting and photography to book design and musical performance, Auerbach explores the limits of our structures and systems of logic (linguistic, mathematical, spatial) and the points at which they break down and open up onto new visual and poetic possibilities”.
