Join for us the opening of 'Painting in New York: 1971–83,' organized by Ivy Shapiro, on Wednesday, September 21st. 'Painting in New York: 1971–83' brings together the work of thirty women painters all of whom were active in New York City in the 1970s and whose lives and works were impacted by the upheavals that radiated from feminism’s second wave. In the early 1970s, a new kind of painting was emerging: elements of sculpture and textile were being synthesized into the medium, which was itself being rethought by new art historical methodologies. At a time of debate around the relevance of painting as a medium, women were reinvigorating the practice. These artistic developments coincided with a shifting political landscape. In what became known as second-wave feminism, women globally revolted against their marginalized status in society. The personal was political and myriad formations—from feminist publications to militant acitivsm and small meetings for women to share experiences and strategize, dubbed “consciousness-raising groups”—sprung forth. Many women were moved by this collective outrage and the belief that a better world was theirs for the making.
