Elsa Hildegard von Freytag-Loringhoven (Plötz)

Elsa Baroness von Freytag-Loringhoven was a German-born avant-garde visual artist and poet, who was active in Greenwich Village, New York, from 1913 to 1923, where her radical self-displays came to embody a living Dada. She was considered one of the most controversial and radical women artists of the era. Her provocative poetry was published posthumously in 2011 in Body Sweats: The Uncensored Writings of Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven. The New York Times praised the book as one of the notable art books of 2011. Elsa worked on assemblage, sculptures and paintings, creating art out of the rubbish and refuse she collected from the streets. She was known to construct elaborate costumes from found objects, creating a "kind of living collage" that erased the boundaries between life and art.
