She was the only child of two Russian Jewish parents. Her father was an artist and an intellectual who was studying at the Beaux-Arts Institute of Design, in New York.During the Great Depression, the family came to Brooklyn. It was also at this time that Schapiro started taking art classes at the Museum of Modern Art. In 1941, she graduated from Erasmus High School and went to the State University of Iowa—she received a BA in 1945, an MA in 1946, and an MFA in 1949. When Schapiro moved to California in 1967, she became one of the first artists to use a computer to create her artwork. Working with the physicist David Nabilof, One such abstraction was OX (1967), a version of which is owned by the Brooklyn Museum. In the ’70s, Schapiro became one of the most important artists in a growing feminist-art scene. In collaboration with Chicago, in 1971, Schapiro co-founded the first feminist art program, at the California Institute of the Arts, in Valencia. The following year, Schapiro and Chicago co-directed Womanhouse, an installation in a rundown Hollywood house that involved the work of 28 female artists. Schapiro’s use of femmage launched her as one of the leading artists in the Pattern and Decoration movement, an American style that emerged in the mid-’70s and lasted through the early ’80s. A subversion of Conceptual art and Minimalism, Pattern and Decoration, or P&D, brought color back into avant-garde art. Schapiro committed herself to promoting art by women. In 1979, she co-founded the New York Feminist Art Institute.She received several awards for her work—an honors award from the Women’s Caucus for Art in 1988 and a lifetime achievement award from the Polk Museum of Art in 2002.Schapiro has come to be seen as an important, if underrated, figure in the history of contemporary art. In 2007, her work was shown in the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles’s vital and widely acclaimed exhibition “WACK! Art and the Feminist Revolution.” Her last solo show was in 2011, when Flomenhaft Gallery also had a mini-retrospective of her work.
