Kathe Burkhart

Writer and artist based in New York City and Amsterdam, Kathe Burkhart engages gender roles, sexuality, celebrity, and language in an interdisciplinary practice. Her Liz Taylor Series uses Pop Art imagery and assemblage to critique representation and the sexual politics of identity. Her visual art has been widely exhibited nationally and internationally and she received a Guggenheim Fellowship in 2017. She is the author of four books of fiction and has been anthologized. She has also been published in Artforum, Hyperallergic, Evergreen Review, Esopus, among many others. Regency Arts Press published a monograph of her paintings, The Liz Taylor Series: The First Twenty Five Years in 2007. She is currently at work on a forthcoming book of stories, “Almost Heaven”.
