States. Airing on PBS this September, Art:21 offers a unique glimpse into
the artists' personal experiences revealed in their own words. The series
gives viewers a rare opportunity to know artists as individuals, as people
with families, communities, and dreams. Viewed as a whole, these artists
offer a testament to the astonishing richness of American art today.

Artists in the first season include Matthew Barney, Louise Bourgeois,
Michael Ray Charles, Mel Chin, John Feodorov, Ann Hamilton, Margaret
Kilgallen, Beryl Korot, Barbara Kruger, Maya Lin, Sally Mann, Kerry James
Marshall, Barry McGee, Bruce Nauman, Pepon Osorio, Richard Serra, Shahzia
Sikander, James Turrell, William Wegman, and Andrea Zittel. The hosts for
the first season are Steve Martin, John McEnroe, S. Epatha Merkerson, and
Laurie Anderson.
