Hedda Sterne

I first blogged about Hedda in early 2020 because I was so over the moon to see MOMA give Hedda her due in their (at the time) new gallery reconfiguration. Hedda has a prominent place in Art History as the only woman Artist featured in Nina Leen’s iconic Life Magazine photograph of the New York Abstract Expressionist group’s “membership” (below).

Jason at Two Coats has words about the recent Dreamscapes at Van Doren Wexter.

I am continually in awe of the #9thstreetwomen* and their truly Modernist commitment to artistic practice- they always made work, even as their male counterparts (and spouses!) stole the limelight. *Speaking of the now well known tome, enjoy this interview (YouTube video in link) with author Mary Gabriel (I know I will).
