美国艺术家贝蒂·萨尔于周日上午在洛杉矶去世，享年99岁1。这位黑人艺术运动的先驱距离其100岁生日仅有几天之遥。萨尔是1960年代黑人艺术运动的中心人物，以其开创性的组合盒艺术和对吉姆·克劳时代纪念品的创意回收利用而闻名1。
萨尔的艺术生涯跨越数十年。她的代表作《黑女孩的窗户》创作于1969年，直到2019年才被纽约现代艺术博物馆收购1。另一件标志性作品《解放Aunt Jemima》创作于1972年，创作灵感源于1968年马丁·路德·金牧师遇刺事件之后1。这件作品通过将贬低黑人的物品转化为革命性象征，表现了黑人解放的主题1。萨尔在35岁时从设计转向艺术创作，并持续创作至90多岁1。2023年，关于她的纪录片《Betye Saar: Ready to Be A Warrior》完成制作1。2026年春季，萨尔被选入美国艺术与文学学院1。
Betye Saar, an influential American artist whose work became central to the Black arts movement of the 1960s, died Sunday morning in Los Angeles at age 99 1. She passed away just days before what would have been her 100th birthday 1.
Saar was renowned for her pioneering assemblage boxes and repurposed artifacts from the Jim Crow era, transforming degrading objects into revolutionary symbols of Black liberation 1. Her landmark works include "The Window of the Black Girl" (1969), which was not acquired by the Museum of Modern Art in New York until 2019 1, and "Liberation of Aunt Jemima" (1972), created in the aftermath of Martin Luther King Jr.'s assassination in 1968 1.
Throughout her career, Saar demonstrated remarkable creative longevity, transitioning from design to fine art at age 35 and continuing to create work into her nineties 1. Her legacy was recognized through the 2023 documentary "Betye Saar: Ready to Be A Warrior," and she was selected for induction into the American Academy of Arts and Letters in spring 2026 1.
