Book Abex: The Women

This publication highlights the pivotal role of women in Abstract Expressionism through more than fifty paintings, collages, and sculptures, accompanied by selected quotes from the artists themselves. Although overshadowed by names like Jackson Pollock and Willem de Kooning, women artists such as Perle Fine, Helen Frankenthaler, Sonia Gechtoff, Lee Krasner, and Joan Mitchell were equally influential, studying at the same schools and exhibiting in the same galleries.
Drawing on works from the Levett Collection, it features essays by noted scholars Ellen G. Landau and Joan M. Marter, as well as an illustrated timeline and over 35 artist biographies, celebrating these women’s innovative contributions to modern art history.
