'52 Artists: A Feminist Milestone' Opens At The Aldrich In Ridgefield
"52 Artists: A Feminist Milestone" celebrates the 51st anniversary of an historic exhibition that opened at The Aldrich in 1971.
RIDGEFIELD, CT — A new exhibit, "52 Artists: A Feminist Milestone," will be on view at The Aldrich Museum of Contemporary Art starting Monday.
"52 Artists: A Feminist Milestone" celebrates the 51st anniversary of the historic exhibition "Twenty Six Contemporary Women Artists," curated by Lucy Lippard and presented at The Aldrich in 1971.
The exhibit will showcase work by the artists included in the original 1971 exhibition, alongside a new roster of 26 female identifying or nonbinary emerging artists, tracking the evolution of feminist art practices over the past five decades.
"52 Artists" will encompass the entirety of the Museum—the first exhibition to do so in The Aldrich's new building which was inaugurated in 2004.
The exhibit was curated by Amy Smith-Stewart, senior curator and Alexandra Schwartz, independent curator, with Caitlin Monachino, curatorial assistant and publications manager.
