Meaning and background
The story behind Lotty
Lotty has a documented artistic namesake in Chilean artist Lotty Rosenfeld. The Hammer Museum explicitly identifies her birth name as Carlota Eugenia Rosenfeld Villarreal and describes work in printmaking, video, and public-space interventions. This provides a concrete Carlota-and-Lotty connection for one person. It does not establish that every Lotty comes from Carlota or Charlotte, but it offers firmer evidence than assuming a relationship from the similar spelling Lottie.
