Women Only! in Their Studios
Eleanor Flomenhaft, former Director of the Fine Arts Museum of Long Island, has curated this important exhibition.
Contemporary women artists, revered by museums in the United States and in most cases worldwide, deplore how little their work is recognized by the American public. This exhibition is a stellar assemblage of sixty works by twenty artists who broke through the glass ceiling, in fact shattered it, but are not yet household names.
Included are Jennifer Bartlett, Amalia Mesa Bains, Camille Billops, Elizabeth Catlett, Linda Freeman, Ann Hamilton, Grace Hartigan, Jenny Holzer, Barbara Kruger, Elizabeth Murray, Howardena Pindell, Laurie Simmons, Faith Ringgold, Miriam Schapiro, Jaune Quick-to-See Smith, Joan Snyder, Pat Steir, Gail Tremblay, Jackie Winsor and Flo Oy Wong. All these artists share a relentless focus and the courage to embrace uncharted territories.
The group is as culturally diverse as the many strands that make up our great melting pot. Their basic expressive means are as boldly distinctive as the cultures are different; each artist is an innovator of compelling power.

More than simply a beautiful art show, "Textiles Transformed" hails an exciting new art form.
