Andrea Zittel (born 1965) is an American contemporary sculptor and installation artist known for exploring daily life, living spaces, and human behavior. Her work blurs the line between art and life, challenging traditional art concepts through functional objects and living units. Zittel studied art at the University of California, San Diego, and began her career in New York before moving to Joshua Tree, California, where she established A-Z West. Her notable works include the A-Z series of furniture and living units, such as the A-Z Homestead Unit and A-Z Cellular Compartment Units. Zittel's work has been exhibited globally, including at the Venice Biennale and Whitney Biennial, and she has received honors such as the Guggenheim Fellowship. Her practice has profoundly influenced contemporary art's reexamination of everyday life.
