LIVE: HEROINES OF THE EXPRESSIONIST ERA - OPENING RECEPTION

Come raise a glass with Southampton Arts Center as we commemorate the launch of our latest exhibition, HEROINES OF THE ABSTRACT EXPRESSIONIST ERA.

For the last 17 years, Cindy Lou and Rick have enjoyed the never-ending journey of researching and assembling a collection “talented but underappreciated“ women artists who helped pioneer 1950’s era AbEx movement, the so- called New York School, and their Subsequent migration to the East End. Featuring 32 of the most acclaimed women artists of that NYC based movement, with 90 pieces, this is perhaps the most comprehensive survey to date, produced in this genre. This Fall 2023 show provides guests a “rediscovery” of the break-though, and innovative mid-century art movement, considered by many to be America’s most significant art movement of the 20th century. It also provides the new generation of viewers with an opportunity to discover these important artists, many of whom lived and worked locally.
