From Wikipedia the free encyclopedia
Olga Koumoundouros is an American sculptor based in Los Angeles.
Koumoundouros was born in New York, New York in 1965.[1] Her sculptures and installations address issues of real estate, gentrification and social justice. After her neighbors' house was abandoned, she occupied the space and transformed it into a work of art.[2][3][4]
