re.e.mer.gence | Women AbEx and Color Field Artists

re.e.mer.gence | Women AbEx and Color Field Artists

There is a current focus on the rediscovery of women Abstract Expressionist artists who have been relegated to semi-obscurity, along with great attention to elevating the importance of more established figures who played integral roles in the dynamics of the period. re.e.mer.gence presents a selection of some lesser-known figures of the period alongside artists that are more established in the canon, and it challenges the viewer to ask the questions, "who is this artist and why have I never heard of her".

Interconnectedness between artists, gallerists, writers, musicians, dancers, bohemia and the avant-garde is a hallmark of this era. And these lesser-known artists all have fascinating relationships connecting them to the scene. These stories are emerging, and many are yet to be unearthed. This exhibition displays the talent of these women AbEx and Color Field artists and draws attention to the role that they played in the development of these styles. As the art world recognizes their importance, we celebrate their contributions.

The show is accompanied by a catalog featuring an article by esteemed artist, writer, and educator Colette Copeland. The opening reception is Thursday, March 21st from 5:30-7:30 and will include a Gallery Talk by art historian Tiffany Floyd from the University of North Texas.
