and Abstraction: Women Artists and Atelier 17 is on view at
the Zimmerli Art Museum, Rutgers University, New Brunswick, NJ, through Wednesday, May 31. This exhibition
was shown at the Pollock-Krasner House, East Hampton, NY, in 2016.
Dr.
Christina Weyl, selected eight artists from the more than ninety women who
worked at the New York Atelier 17 between 1940 and 1955. For each she selected
intaglio prints indicative of their Atelier experience as well as an additional
piece in another medium: paintings for MINNA CITRON and ALICE TRUMBULL MASON,
string construction for SUE FULLER, sculptures for WORDEN DAY and DOROTHY
DEHNER, and woodcut and collage for ANNE RYAN. Works by Louise Bourgeois and
Louise Nevelson are also included.
