Taken in her own living room, this image captures the resourcefulness of Yeager to turn anything into a stage for her work. It shows the pre-digital selfie queen in all her proud glory.

Toward the end of her life, Bunny Yeager found the critical acclaim that had overlooked her for much of her career, with celebrated exhibitions at galleries in Florida and beyond, and a museum exhibition at the Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh, PA. For these, Yeager reapproached her earlier work as works of fine art, creating museum quality exhibition sized prints such as the one seen here.
