Barbara Kasten (b. 1936) is an American artist born in Chicago, USA. She is known for making photographs of abstract interior environments where the juxtaposition of light, objects, and mirrors forms the subject of her images. Kasten was educated in sculpture and painting, which both informs her work. She began investigating photography through cyanotypes of fabrics and photograms of objects placed directly on paper. Barbara Kasten attended California College of Arts and Crafts (MFA, 1970) and the University of Arizona, Tucson (BFA, 1959). She has had major solo institutional exhibits at Sammlung Goetz, Munich (2022); Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg (2020); Graham Foundation (2016), Chicago; MOCA Pacific Design Center (2016) and ICA Philadelphia (2015). Kasten has also participated in several group exhibitions at Guggenheim Museum, Bilbao (2022); Centre Pompidou, Paris, France (2022); Busan Biennale, Busan Korea (2020); Sharjah Biennal 14, Sharjah, UAE (2019), Tate Modern, London, UK (2018) and more.
