Eric Firestone Gallery is pleased to announce (Mostly) Women (Mostly) Abstract, a two-part exhibition across its East Hampton and New York City locations. A cross-generational group of 22 artists will be included in Part One, opening at the gallery’s 4 Newtown Lane, East Hampton location on August 5. The exhibition suggests aesthetic conversations over time between contemporary artists and represented gallery artists and estates.
(Mostly) Women (Mostly) Abstract reveals how content is embedded in abstraction. The exhibition showcases artists who have charted a deeply personal path outside the center of the art world and utilized experimental techniques and processes. In broad terms, the exhibition considers the condition of “otherness” as manifest in abstraction, in terms of ethnicity, race, gender, and sexual orientation—reflecting Eric Firestone Gallery’s central mission to examine the ever-expanding canon of Post-War painting and sculpture in New York.
