Lynn Hershman Leeson in "San Francisco Bay Area"Preview

August 22, 2018

Lynn Hershman Leeson reflects on the progression of her practice, fluid in medium while consistent in message, in this preview of the upcoming “San Francisco Bay Area” episode from Season 9 of the “Art in the Twenty-First Century” television series.

Recalling an experience from the 1970s where her work was purchased and subsequently returned by a male buyer, Hershman Leeson says, “Somehow he found out I was female and he returned the work because he said that women weren’t good investments. He was wrong.”

“San Francisco Bay Area” from Season 9 of Art in the Twenty-First Century premiered September 28, 2018 on PBS. Watch the full episode and artist segment.
