Doris Kloster is an American photographer, editor, painter and filmmaker.
She studied art history, among other subjects, from 1978 to 1983 at Boston University, the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich, and the Art Institute of Boston.[1] Kloster received her Master of Arts degree in Studio Art from the Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development at New York University where she studied from 1995 to 1998.[2] Since 1983, she has worked in the USA (New York) and Europe (Paris, London, Milan). Doris Kloster is co-founder and editor of the cultural magazine FAD.[3] Since 1987, her works have been repeatedly presented in exhibitions in the USA, in Europe and in Asia. Kloster created cover art photography for many recordings such as The Cars' Heartbeat City, and records by Foreigner, Lovelies and Lydia Lunch.[4]
Her first artistic photographs were sacred images taken in German Baroque churches.[5] In 1987, Doris Kloster began a photographic documentation of the New York BDSM and trans scene, followed by various photography series and art films on the subject of BDSM and fetish.[6] A photographic adaptation of The Story of O was published in 2000, with an introduction by Jean-Jacques Pauvert. All of the book's 50 color photographs were taken on location in France at sites including Château de Saint-Loup and the Conciergerie in Paris.[7] In 2001, she served as the President of the International Jury at the 13th Festival du Court Métrage de Clermont-Ferrand, France,[8] which presented a retrospective on BDSM and fetishism that included two of Kloster's films.[9]
Kloster conceived and curated a series of exhibitions showcasing self-portraits by international contemporary women artists titled She Views Herself. The exhibitions were presented at various locations in Paris during 2012 to 2014 at Galerie Sator,[10] the private bank Oddo & Cie,[11] Salon Paul Ricard,[12] the headquarters of Air France at Les Invalides,[13] and 6 Mandel Galerie.[14] Her work promoting the recognition of women artists prompted the National Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington DC to invite her to become a Member of the National Advisory Board.[15]
Kloster’s books and artworks are in the collections of museums and libraries including the Bibliothèque nationale de France[16] in Paris, the Schlesinger Library[17] of Harvard Radcliffe Institute in Cambridge, Massachusetts, the Schwules Museum[18] in Berlin and Bishopsgate Institute[19] in London. Doris Kloster's work is cited in several academic writings,[20][21] notably in the introduction to Christian Liclair's Sexually Explicit Art, Feminist Theory, and Gender in the 1970s, which uses the two editions of the exhibition Coming to Power: 25 Years of Sexually X-Plicit Art by Women as a starting point to show the continuing importance of feminist art in the 1970s.[22]
