Andrea Fraser is an artist and professor at the University of California, Los Angeles. Her work investigates the social, financial, and affective economies of cultural institutions, fields, and groups. Identified with feminism, performance, and institutional critique, she combines the site-specific and research-based practices of conceptualism with feminist investigations of subjectivity and desire to explore the power and domination produced and reproduced in the art field.

Retrospectives of her work have been presented by the Museum Ludwig Cologne (2013), Museum der Moderne Salzburg (2015), Museum of Contemporary Art Barcelona/MUAC UNAM Mexico City (2016), and Zachęta National Gallery of Art, Warsaw (2025). Her books include Museum Highlights: The Writings of Andrea Fraser (2005), 2016 in Museums, Money, and Politics (2018),  and Andrea Fraser: Collected Interviews 1990–2018 (2019). She is currently a Visual Arts Fellow at the American Academy in Rome. Her exhibition Untitled (Objects) is on view at Galerie Nagel Draxler, Berlin, through November 2025.
