Exhibition: The Future is Female: Prints by Women Artists

In printmaking, The Future is Female, but so is the past.

With or without the visibility they deserve, women have engaged in the art of printmaking since its beginning. The art of producing multiple impressions from a single plate takes many forms, including etching, engraving, lithography, woodcut and silkscreen. The second half of the 20th century witnessed an explosion of interest in the medium’s creative potential.

Today women artists continue to use the techniques to tell their stories, exploring themes such as gender, sexuality, race, ethnicity and economic class.

The Future is Female exhibition, on display in The Gallery at Rauch Business Center until Dec. 8, highlights contemporary women artists in the LUAG Teaching Museum permanent collection, including Faith Ringgold, Janet Fish, Maud Morgan, Matsubara Naoko, Françoise Gilot, Nancy Spero, Marisol Escobar, Bridget Riley, Carmen Herrera, Belkis Ayón and Käthe Kollwitz.
