Erica Baum (b. 1961, New York) is an American visual artist. Her work focuses on the printed page – books, newspapers and magazines – as her subject matter. Baum employs photography to cut up and removed from its original context through the camera's crop. Thus, her works blur photo and text in a resulting visual poem.

Baum received an BA in Anthropology from Columbia University, an MA in TESOL/Applied Linguistics from Hunter College, and an MFA in Photography from Yale University School of Art.

Critical Response
Baum's work has been viewed as a blurring of abstraction and representational photography.
