Review: Women Of Abstract Expressionism. - At long last someone has moved to address the balance and mounted an exhibition of those women artists who were part of this movement! More to the point, we now have a quality, hardback volume that not only covers the 12 artists who were in the exhibition, but expands on that with the inclusion of biographies and examples of works by many others, documenting over 40 artists. The illustrations are very good, many of large size, some double-page spreads; there are around 138 in full-colour, supplemented by about 50 black and white illustrations and photographs. The texts consist of five illuminating essays and an interview with influential art historian/critic Irving Sandler; the book also scores highly by including West Coast artists in the mix, as San Francisco had an important art scene that paralleled New York. This volume is very timely given the current Abstract Expressionist show running at the RA - September through to 2nd January 2017; a reassessment of the movement and it's influence is long overdue – and it starts here, with fair acknowledgement of all those excluded by academics either by accident or design. This is an essential book to have if you are even remotely interested in abstract painting or the Abstract Expressionist period.
Review: Also many lesser known artists who did interesting work - This is a lovely book, which features a lot of artists whose work I hadn't seen before, as well as more well-known painters, such as Joan Mitchell, Lee Krasner and Helen Frankenthaler. Lots of space given to the paintings as well as interesting information and articles.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ important book; highly recommended
*by T***T on 19 January 2020*

What image is conjured up when you think of Abstract Expressionism? This is a wonderful book about this blind spot in art history that hid the creative talents of a very large number of women. For me the book helped me appreciate a richer constellation of abstract expressionist talent. Artistic creativity knows no bounds whether gender as in this case, or ethnicity and race. I think the one area that is now troubling is ageism -- emergent artists are not always young. Indeed, late-onset creativity is a power event for many older people who discover creativity later in life.
