Betty Parsons's group exhibition, Abstract Expressionists: The Women at The Wichita Ar Museum, Kansas, will be on view August 23–November 16, 2025
The Wichita Art Museum's press release follows:
Abstract Expressionism—born in the 1940s and 1950s and the first global American art style—features huge, colorful canvases filled with abstract shapes and forms. Although the story of Abstract Expressionism has mostly foregrounded a few larger-than-life, paint-splattered men like Jackson Pollock and Willem de Kooning, women artists played a huge role in the origins and development of the movement. They were not merely acolytes or interpreters of the style but ambitious innovators all their own.
Featuring more than 40 canvases made by 30 women, Abstract Expressionists: The Women brings some of the most important women artists of any century—such as Grace Hartigan and Helen Frankenthaler—to Wichita.
