Early life and education

Smith was born in 1955 in Newark, New Jersey.[1][2] Her father was artist Tony Smith and her mother was actress and opera singer Jane Lawrence.[3] Although Seton's work takes a very different form than that of her father, early exposure to his process of making geometric sculptures allowed her to experience minimalist and formal issues in art firsthand. She had a twin sister who died of AIDS, actor Beatrice "Bebe" Smith,[4] and is also the sister of Kiki Smith, who is also an artist.[3][5]

Seton Smith went to public school in South Orange, New Jersey. She subsequently attended Sarah Lawrence and Bennington College, moving to New York City in 1979[1]

Public collections

Smith is in the collections of the International Center of Photography, New York,[2] George Pompidou Center, Paris; The Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; Los Angeles County Museum, L.A.; the Musee d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris^{[citation needed]}
