Ninth Street Women – Virtual Talk with Author Mary Gabriel

Published in 2018, Ninth Street Women was described by a reviewer at the New York Times as “supremely gratifying, generous, and lush but also tough and precise — in other words, as complicated and capacious as the lives it depicts.” The book chronicles the lives of five women artists who dared to enter the male-dominated world of twentieth-century abstract painting. Christian Levett credits the book with sparking his own journey collecting the art that is featured in Abstract Expressionists: The Women. Join us via Zoom to hear from author Mary Gabriel about these pioneering women artists who shaped an art movement — and history.

This Zoom-based talk is part of our spring Muscarelle Explorations series, focusing on the artists highlighted in the special exhibition Abstract Expressionists: The Women — the remarkable and, until recently, under-appreciated women who shaped one of America’s great art movements.
