"When I came to New York, there were a lot of women who were like me. They had gone to graduate school, they were smart. They wanted access to the system. So what could they do? Start a gallery! There was Barbara Zucker, Dotty Attie, Mary Grigoriadis, and a woman named Sue Williams. Not the Sue Williams that you’re familiar with. Lucy Lippard was a critic, which probably I’m sure you know.But anyway, she had a file of a lot of women artists. So they went to her studio and they looked at the file, and they picked people and went on studio visits to choose artists that they wanted to work with. They wanted to start a woman’s gallery, the first woman’s gallery. The first women’s gallery—that became A.I.R. and that was in 1972. Such a long time ago."- Excerpt from interview between artists Judith Bernstein and Mickalene Thomas in the exhibition catalog. 〰
“Judith Bernstein: Cabinet of Horrors” is on view in our Main Gallery through February 4. Wed-Sun 12-6pm | Thurs 12-8pm
