Rebecca Warren

From 1989 to 1992, Warren studied Fine Art at Goldsmiths' College, University of London receiving a BA (Hons).^[3] She then attained a Masters in Fine Art from Chelsea College of Art & Design, London (1992–93).^[3] From 1993 to 1994 she was an artist-in-residence at the Ruskin School, Oxford University, Oxford.^[1]

Until 1997 a large part of Warren's output was produced as a collaboration with artist Fergal Stapleton.

Warren's early sculptures were made primarily using clay.^[6] These pieces often depicted the nude female form and tackled themes of sexuality by making reference to other historical works and artists.^[7] For instance, Warren's early works have referenced artists as diverse as Robert Crumb, Edgar Degas, and Alberto Giacometti.^[8]

Warren's more recent works have included more sculptures made in metal media such as bronze and steel.^[6] In 2009, the artist exhibited her first work in welded steel at her exhibition entitled Feelings.^[9] In 2009 the Serpentine Gallery exhibited the first major solo survey of her work.^[10] In 2010, The Renaissance Society, in collaboration with the Art Institute of Chicago, presented Warren's first solo exhibition in an American museum.^[11]

Also in 2014, she was made a Professor of Painting and Sculpture at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf^[12]
