Mark Morrisroe was an American performance artist and photographer who died aged 30 in 1989. He was a formative force in the developing punk scene in Boston in the 1970s and the art world boom of 1980s in New York City, and one of the earliest artists to create a first-person visual account of the ‘AIDS experience’. Considered a member of the New England School of Photography, he created some 2,000 images and major collections including the Whitney and MOCA of Los Angeles have subsequently acquired his work. The estate of Mark Morrisroe (Collection Ringier) is held at the Fotomuseum Winterthur. This Invenio repository of the Morrisroe estate is part of a ground-breaking program by Fotomuseum to safeguard metadata and high-resolution digital masters of cultural data and ensure long-term accessibility.
