Untitled
<p>Demonstrating Ramberg’s continued interest in the ways clothing affects how we view the body, this etching is composed of rows of binding bodices and corsets. By playing with erotic implications of women’s fashion, Ramberg created powerful and troubling representations of the female form.</p>

Drawing
Christina Ramberg was an American painter and drawer working primarily in graphite and watercolor from the 1970s onward. Her intimate compositions focused on domestic interiors, textiles, and abstracted architectural details rendered with meticulous precision and a restrained palette. Operating within the postwar American art context, her work emphasized close observation and formal restraint over expressive gesture.
