"I thought that when I had the retrospective, there would be this great big moment when I would go into the galleries and see all of my work at the same time, in the same place, and have this big Aha! The engagement of the audience, which involves a back-and-forth of question-and-answer, is the thing that was missing." She highlighted the importance of interaction in her artistic presentations.
Her gallery, Marianne Ibrahim, confirmed her death...O'Grady became an artist comparatively late in life, when she was in her early forties, and then worked for another two decades in relative obscurity before her work started coming to widespread attention in the early 2000s.
Performance and back-and-forth questioning with an audience are hallmarks of the three projects O'Grady is arguably best known for—two under her own name, the other as a member of the anonymous feminist collective the Guerrilla Girls.
