Opening Today — Painting In New York 1971-83 at 188 & 172 East 2nd St. “The middle ground is where the heart seems to lie, with abstractions that contain clues to their content, abstractions with hidden messages, abstractions that refuse to surrender their underlying feminist intent. Because each work has a complicated relationship to these ideas, I mention no names... But the exhibition offers tantalizing clues as to why this art, these artists, are important and why a modest display of these works will reward those who look, see, and think.” — Lucy Lippard The exhibition brings together 30 women painters working in 1970s New York City. It includes works by Emma Amos, Ida Applebroog, Jennifer Bartlett, Betty Blayton, Vivian Browne, Cynthia Carlson, Martha Diamond, Louise Fishman, Suzan Frecon, Nancy Graves, Cynthia Hawkins, Mary Heilmann, Virginia Jaramillo, Jane Kaplowitz, Harriet Korman, Lois Lane, Helen Marden, Dindga McCannon, Ree Morton, Elizabeth Murray, Ellen Phelan, Howardena Pindell, Sylvia Plimack Mangold, Faith Ringgold, Dorothea Rockburne, Susan Rothenberg, Joan Semmel, Jenny Snider, Joan Snyder and Pat Steir. Organized by Ivy Shapiro
