Marta Minujín is a 77 year old Latina born in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Later on, she moved to New York City and split her time between there and Buenos Aires, where she currently lives. Material that Marta uses for her artwork include martials that are "ephemeral" such as fabric, cardboard, and sometimes even food. Her art consists of sculptures, video, and performances. According to the Guggenheim Museum, "Many of the artist's actions have employed surprise, provocation, and even violence; some early works saw her destroy all her existing sculptures"
