Ida Applebroog

Studio 360

In 1969, Ida Applebroog was a middle-aged mother of four who escaped to the bathroom and sketched parts of her own body. She’s recently unearthed the drawings and made them part of a gallery installation and catalog. Kurt talks with her about how she – and her art – have changed over the last forty years.
