SUMMARY:Virtual Tour: Modern Women
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, January 25th\n1:00 p.m. – 2:00 p.m. PT \n  \nThe contributions of women artists to the development of modern and contemporary art cannot be overstated. The variety of work spans scale\, media\, and artistic approach—from gestural brushwork\, cerebral and meditative works on paper\, to photography that questions our identities and popular culture. Intelligent\, ironic\, and often pushing established boundaries of subject and media\, the works and the artists are as diverse and complex as the rapidly shifting centuries in which they were created.  This tour will explore the incredible contributions of these dynamic artists. \nPlease reserve your spot by clicking on this link.
