Blockbuster exhibition highlights visionary women of abstract expressionism

The Muscarelle Museum of Art at William & Mary has launched "Abstract Expressionists: The Women," a landmark touring exhibition featuring nearly 50 works by 32 female artists. Curated by scholar Ellen G. Landau and drawn from the private collection of Christian Levett, the show includes major figures such as Helen Frankenthaler, Lee Krasner, and Elaine de Kooning. It is the only East Coast stop for this exhibition, which organizes the works chronologically to trace the movement's evolution across New York, California, and Paris.
