Their work represents the diversity of creative expression with mediums ranging from installation, painting, sculpture, performance, and more.
Through their compelling works these talented, feminist, trailblazing artists cleared paths for generations of women.
This exhibition illustrates their perseverance in their ongoing creative practice to this day. Marlena Vaccaro, Director and Curator of Carter Burden Gallery, states, “The Carter Burden Gallery opened in Chelsea in 2009 to meet a need of representation of older professional artists. It is the first of its kind in the nation, exclusively featuring the vibrant and significant works of professional artists over the age of sixty. The women exhibited in this show are the shoulders subsequent women artists have stood and continue to stand on.
