Women Across America: 1945–1979 reimagines postwar American art history told through women's art, spanning Abstract Expressionism, the Washington Color School, the Studio Craft Movement, and the Women's Art Movement. Featuring artists from New York, San Francisco, Taos, New Orleans, and beyond — including Helen Frankenthaler, Alma Thomas, Pat Passlof, Miriam Schapiro, Hedda Sterne, and Jeanne Reynal — the exhibition traces regional, immigrant, and exile stories across a pivotal transitional period. Taking place during the US semiquincentennial, it counters the myth of the solitary modernist genius by revealing the rich networks, cooperatives, and communities through which these artists refused to be excluded.
