Featuring photographs, prints, and drawings exclusively by women artists, A gallery of their own reveals the important role women artists have played in expanding the boundaries of works on paper. Many of the works explore surreal, dream-like scenes or the challenge of capturing movement in a still image. Some artists bring a sculptural approach to two-dimensional works, while others map the natural world in innovative ways. Drawn from the promised gift of local collectors Michael Carr and Peter Goldblum, the exhibition includes works by Louise Bourgeois, Lee Krasner, and Yayoi Kusama, among others.

The exhibition brings together a diverse range of approaches to works on paper, allowing visitors to encounter different ways of exploring images, forms, movement, and the natural world. The works demonstrate how artists have used photography, printmaking, and drawing to investigate both familiar and imaginative subjects, while pushing beyond conventional expectations of what works on paper can achieve.

Together, the works highlight the breadth of artistic practices represented in the promised gift and offer an opportunity to consider the varied contributions of women artists to the history of works on paper. Through the combination of different media and artistic perspectives, A gallery of their own presents a rich selection that emphasizes experimentation, innovation, and the continuing possibilities of works on paper.
