ANNA BANANA (B. 1940)

Anna Banana is a Canadian artist known for her performance art, writing, and work as a small press publisher. She has been described as an "entrepreneur and critic" and is credited with pioneering the artistamp, a postage-stamp-sized medium. In 2018, Kunstverein presented the first comprehensive retrospective in the Netherlands of Ms. Banana’s ground breaking oeuvre, highlighting her roles as a prolific artist, publisher, collector, and costume designer.
