“Alongside the well-known artists of the Pop art movement like Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein, worked many lesser-known but no less significant female artists who were making some critical contributions to the movement, including Niki de Saint Phalle, sculptor, painter, and filmmaker; Martha Rosler, videographer and performance artist; and Marisol, who is best known for superimposing her own face on members of The Party a group installation of figures in the guises of the social elite. No, Pop art is not all soup cans.”
Rozalia Jovanovic, Flavorpill
This large-scale exhibition examines the impact of women artists on the traditionally male-dominated field of Pop art. It reconsiders the narrow definition of the Pop art movement and reevaluates its critical reception. In recovering important female artists, the show expands the canon to reflect more accurately the women working internationally during this period. The exhibition features 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.
