Yonkers, NY | Private Tour of “Matrix: Prints by Women Artists, 1960–1990” with Laura Vookles, Chief Curator of Collections, Hudson River Museum

Please join us for private tour of Matrix: Prints by Women Artists, 1960–1990 led by Laura Vookles, Chief Curator of Collections at the Hudson River Museum and ArtTable member, followed by a light reception.

Matrix: Prints by Women Artists, 1960–1990 explores a period of experimentation in printmaking among women artists, who used the art form as a means of creative expression and also a way to enter the male-dominated art market. Artists such as Minna Citron, Chryssa, Helen Frankenthaler, the Guerrilla Girls, Louise Nevelson, Faith Ringgold, and Julia Santos Solomon experimented with the medium during these three decades and became a formidable matrix from which a new generation of printmakers would develop. Individually and collectively, these artists expanded the genre through their mastery of technique and collaboration, while defining and broadening a new, more inclusive voice and visual language.
