She has been married to the artist Bruce Nauman.Since the mid-1970s, Rothenberg has been widely recognized as one of the most innovative and independent artists of the contemporary period. From her early years in SoHo through her move to the New Mexico desert landscape, Rothenberg has remained as influenced and challenged by her physical surroundings as she is by artistic issues and her own personal experiences. In addition to her earliest horse paintings, Rothenberg has taken on numerous forms as subject matter. These include dancing figures, heads and bodies, animals, and atmospheric landscapes. Rothenberg's visceral canvases have continued to evolve, as she explores the boundary between figural representation and abstraction; her work also examines the role of color and light, and the translation of her personal experience to a painterly surface.
