Kim Victoria Abeles is one of the most popular and richest Visual Artist who was born on August 28, 1952 in Richmond Heights, United States. Kim Victoria Abeles (born August 28, 1952 in Richmond Heights, Missouri) is an American interdisciplinary artist and professor emeritus currently living in Los Angeles. She is described as an activist artist because of her work’s social and political nature. She is also known for her feminist works. Abeles has exhibited her works in 22 countries and has received a number of significant awards including a Guggenheim Fellowship. Aside from her work as an artist, she was a professor in public art, sculpturing, and drawing at California State University, Northridge from 1998 to 2009, after which she became professor emerita in 2010.

Abeles’ HIV/AIDS Tarot cards incorporate both image and text, and discuss issues pertaining to the socioeconomic and medical aspects of AIDS. Only seven cards were issued, not a complete Tarot deck. They were printed in both English and Spanish, and used as part of a public health information program in Los Angeles in 1992.

In some of her works pertaining to human rights, Abeles has taken a subjective approach that includes a presentation of individuals’ portraits through text, maps, drawings, and objects. An example is her 1991 sculpture To Sit As Ladder (In Honor of Rosa Parks) which displayed a chair with text to represent the life of Rosa Parks.
