Pati Hill
Pati Hill (April 3, 1921 - September 19, 2014) was an American writer and photocopy artist known for her observational style of prose and her work with the IBM photocopier. While she was not the first artist to experiment with the copier, her work is distinguished by its focus on objects, her emphasis on the accessibility of the medium, and her efforts to unite image and text so that they may "fuse to become something other than either."
Hill was born Patricia Louise Guion Hill in Ashland, Kentucky in 1921. She moved to Charlottesville, Virginia with her mother at age eight. In her late teens, Hill attended George Washington University before moving to New York. Throughout her life, she moved between France and the United States before finally settling in Sens, Yonne, France in the 1990s. Beginning in 1956, she lived for several decades in Stonington, Connecticut.
For several years in the late 1980s, Hill owned an antiques shop in Mystic, Connecticut.
On the subject of marriage, Hill was recorded saying, "it was invented by the Devil—in the guise of a man." She was married three times throughout her life. Her first marriage lasted approximately nine months. In the 1940s, Hill married her second husband, Robert Meservey, a skier for the Dartmouth Ski Team, in what was called "a wedding-on-skis." Hill and Meservey skied to the church while Hill carried a bouquet of evergreen branches. Hill's marriage to Meservey was featured in a photo spread in LIFE.
In 1960 after her two previous marriages, Hill married French gallerist Paul Bianchini, known for bringing attention to postwar artists such as Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, and Claes Oldenburg. In 1962, Hill gave birth to a daughter, Paola.
Hill was widowed in 2000 when Bianchini died of cancer.
Hill died in her home in Sens, France on September 19, 2014.
At age 19, Hill moved to New York where she worked as a model for the John Robert Powers Agency. In the late 1940s, Hill moved to Paris to continue her modeling career, becoming "a top-flight model" for Edward Molyneux and other designers. There, she modeled what she recalled was "the first collection of American clothes" in Paris.
