Though the contributions of these women were central to American art of the twentieth century, their work has not received the same critical attention as that of their male counterparts. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eWomen of Abstract Expressionism\u003c\/i\u003e is a long-overdue survey. Lavishly illustrated with full-color plates emphasizing the expressive freedom of direct gesture and process at the core of the movement, this book features biographies of more than forty artists, offering insight into their lives and work. Essays by noted scholars explore the techniques, concerns, and legacies of women in Abstract Expressionism, shedding light on their unique experiences. This groundbreaking book reveals the richness of the careers of these important artists and offers keen new reflections on their work and the movement as a whole. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePublished in association with the Denver Art Museum \u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExhibition Schedule: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMint Museum, Charlotte, N.C. \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e (10\/22\/16-01\/22\/17)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePalm Springs Art Museum\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e (02\/18\/17-05\/28\/17)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJoan Marter \u003c\/b\u003eis Board of Governors Professor of Art History at Rutgers University and editor of the \u003ci\u003eWoman's Art Journal\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cb\u003eGwen F.
