Edith Altman (born 1931)[1] is a German Jewish-American artist. She emigrated from Germany to the United States at a young age. Her work investigates the lowest and the highest levels of any hierarchy. She explores systems (governmental, financial, cultural, etc.) of power, and the powerless.[2]
Early life
Altman escaped Nazi Germany in 1939 as a little girl. Her father Max Hittman (Markus Hüttmann) escaped from Buchwenwald. She lost her grandfathers and grandmothers on both sides of her family to the Holocaust. [3]
