Seductive Subversion: Women Pop Artists 1958-1968

Seductive Subversion: Women Pop Artists, 1958-1968 was the first exhibition to survey the achievements of women Pop artists. This large-scale exhibition examined the impact of women artists on the traditionally male-dominated field of Pop art. It reconsidered the narrow definition of the Pop art movement and reevaluates its critical reception. In recovering important female artists, the show expanded the canon to reflect more accurately the women working internationally during this period. The exhibition featured more than fifty artworks by Chryssa, Niki de Saint Phalle, Rosalyn Drexler, Marisol, Yayoi Kusama, Jann Haworth, Vija Celmins, Lee Lozano, Marjorie Strider, Idelle Weber, and Joyce Wieland, among others. This presentation will focus on the impact of these artists on art practice in the 21st century.
