Product Overview
Through representing women artists together, Women and Abstraction aims not to limit the ways we read the included artists by gender, but attempts to heighten our understanding of the abstract tendencies in American art and to present a broad historical survey highlighting the historical continuum of abstraction and its ongoing innovation. Moreover, while works by major artists ground the exhibition, this project also highlights artists who have not received proper attention. The list of artists in the exhibition includes: Mary Abbott, Ruth Asawa, Alma Thomas, Amy Sillman, Louise Nevelson, Elaine DeKooning, Barbara Kasten, Howardena Pindell, Lee Bontecou, Rosemarie Castoro, Mary Heilmann, Hayal Pozanti, Carmen Herrera, Lee Krasner, Doris Leeper, Jane Manus, Nava Lubelski, Julie Mehretu, Joan Mitchell, Sarah Morris, Louise Nevelson, Georgia O'Keeffe, Shinique Smith, Ellen Garvens, Dana Hargrove, Pat Steir, Jessica McCambly, and Barbara Sorensen. Published on the occasion of the exhibition Women and Abstraction, on view at the Cornell Fine Arts Museum of Rollins College in Winter Park, Florida, from April 18, 2015 to August 2, 2015.
