Rosalyn Drexler, a Pop artist known for her 1960s paintings exploring Hollywood, violence, and gender, died in New York at age 98. Her death was confirmed by Garth Greenan Gallery, which represents her. Drexler also wrote novels and briefly worked as a professional wrestler before turning to art.
Drexler's recent resurgence in recognition underscores a broader re-evaluation of women artists within the Pop art movement. Once considered obscure, her works are now held by major institutions like MoMA and the Whitney Museum, highlighting how art history is being revised to include previously overlooked figures.
