SUMMARY:New York\, NY | Curator-Led Tour of "Anonymous Was a Woman: The First 25 Years" at NYU's Grey Art Museum
DESCRIPTION:Join ArtTable for a curator-led tour of Anonymous Was A Woman: The First 25 Years at the Grey Art Museum at New York University\, led by exhibition co-curators Nancy Princenthal and Dr. Vesela Sretenović. \n\n\n\nIn 1996\, artist and philanthropist Susan Unterberg founded the Anonymous Was A Woman (AWAW) award\, making a simple\, yet radical commitment to redress the lack of institutional support for women visual artists over the age of 40. She sought to provide mid-career artists with the means to procure workspace\, art supplies\, childcare\, or whatever else they needed to further their artistic careers. For the past two and a half decades\, AWAW has provided unrestricted grants of $25\,000 to ten or more artists each year.  \n\n\n\nShowcasing some 50 artworks by 41 of the 251 award recipients from AWAW’s first 25 years (1996 through 2020)\, this exhibition explores several themes surrounding anonymity and\, ultimately\, celebrates the transformative impact women artists have made on contemporary art since the award’s founding. With each year represented by at least one artist\, the exhibition includes works created within a few years of their grant\, demonstrating the significance of the award to the artist’s growth. The range of artists featured in the exhibition demonstrates the demographic and aesthetic diversity of past awardees. All 251 artists are represented in a publication accompanying the exhibition\, which also includes critical essays about the awardees by Princenthal\, Sretenović\, and other women scholars. \n\n\n\nClick here to read more about the landmark exhibition. \n\n\n\n\n\nVisitor Notes: \n\n\n\n\nThe Grey is fully walker- and wheelchair-accessible\, and several portable stools are available to borrow for use within the galleries upon request.\n\n\n\nPlease note that large bags and backpacks must be checked in a secure locker\, and food & drink (including water bottles) are not permitted. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nProgram Admission: \n\n\n\n\nArtTable Members – $15\n\n\n\n\n\nAll registrants for this event will be provided with a 20% discount on ArtTable’s limited edition scarf celebrating 25 Years of Anonymous Was a Woman\, created in 2021 in conjunction with ArtTable’s 45 year anniversary and the year Susan Unterberg received the Distinguished Service to the Visual Arts Award.
