The celebrated survey of female Abstract Expressionist artists
revealing the richness and lasting influence of their work The
artists Jay DeFeo, Helen Frankenthaler, Grace Hartigan, Elaine de
Kooning, Lee Krasner, Joan Mitchell, and many other women played
major roles in the development of Abstract Expressionism, which
flourished in New York and San Francisco in the 1940s and 1950s and
has been recognized as the first fully American modern art
movement. Though the contributions of these women were central to
American art of the twentieth century, their work has not received
the same critical attention as that of their male counterparts.
Women of Abstract Expressionism is a long-overdue survey. Lavishly
illustrated with full-color plates emphasizing the expressive
freedom of direct gesture and process at the core of the movement,
this book features biographies of more than forty artists, offering
insight into their lives and work. Essays by noted scholars explore
the techniques, concerns, and legacies of women in Abstract
Expressionism, shedding light on their unique experiences. This
groundbreaking book reveals the richness of the careers of these
important artists and offers keen new reflections on their work and
the movement as a whole. Published in association with the Denver
Art Museum Exhibition Schedule: Mint Museum, Charlotte, N.C.
