Women artists and the Abstract revolution

Restoration Conversations
Elaine de Kooning, Lee Krasner, Helen Frankenthaler, Grace Hartigan and numerous other women artists produced explosive works of Abstract Expressionism in the renegade New York art scene of the early 1950s and 1960s. During our upcoming ‘Restoration Conservations’ home-gallery visit, collectors Christian and Florence Levett share highlights from their 100-piece Florentine collection, formed almost exclusively of art by women. ‘I didn’t have talent, I just had genius,’ Hartigan once quipped. On Wednesday, April 21, let’s uncover the often-irreverent personalities of what became known as ‘the quintessential American and modern art movement’ and see first-hand why Lee Krasner's mantra was, ‘I never violate an inner rhythm.’ Join organizers Advancing Women Artists and The Florentine for the livestream at 5pm in Italy; 11am EST; 8am PST; 4pm in the UK.
