Twenty Six Contemporary Women Artists
Art exhibition in New York (1971)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Twenty Six Contemporary Women Artists was an art exhibition held at The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum from April 18 - June 13, 1971.[1] It was the first show curated by Lucy R. Lippard.[2] Lippard only included artists who had never had a solo exhibition.[3] It featured 26 emerging New York based women artists.[4]
In the preface to the catalog for the show Lippard stated:[5]
The woman artist has tended to be seen either as another artist's wife, or girl, or as a dilettante. Now I know that, contrary to popular opinion, women are not any more "part-time artists" than anyone else.
