Kraushaar Galleries

The title for our fall 2024 exhibition comes from a quote by Virginia Woolf. It seems especially fitting as the show features works by women artists. Selected from our inventory, new, familiar and unexpected examples, the relationship between the pieces is lively and touches on the many media women use to make art. We begin with Marguerite Zorach’s 1910 fauve painting of India and end with two recent, intimate papier collé, a reconstructed collagraph by Catherine Drabkin and Dora Somosi’s assemblage of her own photography. For the century in between we will feature paintings by Laurie Fendrich, Judith Rothschild, Esphyr Slobodkina and Marissa Alperin’s painting in wool. Ethel Myers’ small but heroic bronze portrait of Florence Reed contrasts with the delicate multimedia cake by Pat Lasch and the tactile ceramic from Susan Tunick. In the Graphics Gallery Peggy Bacon’s bowl of fruit compliments Judith Belzer’s lines that seem to echo the tide, and the tactile drawings of Dorothy Hood and Sara Sosnowy. Other artists included are Jay DeFeo, Dorothy Dehner, Anne Ryan, Katherine Wall and Joan Waltemath.

From the graphic self portrait of Karl Schrag to the subtle forms of Arthur Dove, from the dancing lines of Dorothy Dehner to the dancing forms of Byron Browne and John Ferren, the lyricism of Dorothy Hood and Leon Goldin contrasts with the rectilinear compositions from Alfred Leslie and William Kienbusch. In the graphics gallery we present ew York City as seen by William Glackens, John Sloan, Steve Wheeler and Mildred Williams.
