NYU’s Grey Art Museum will present the exhibition ‘June Leaf: Shooting From the Heart’ from September 9 to December 13. The show focuses on the work of American artist June Leaf, known for her expressive drawings, paintings, and sculptures that explore the human figure and emotional states.
The exhibition matters because it brings renewed attention to June Leaf, an artist whose career spans over six decades but who has received less recognition than her male contemporaries. By showcasing her work at a university museum, the show highlights the ongoing effort to reassess and elevate underrepresented artists in art history.
