The Alan Avery Art Company presents The Glass Ceiling Shattered, 30 Years – 3 Great American Women Artists presenting the work of Louise Nevelson, Helen Frankenthaler and Kara Walker. Each of these women is highly recognized in their own right, as well as having played a significant role within the history of art, and as a female artist. Louise Nevelson, an American sculptor and printmaker, and Helen Frankenthaler, an American Abstract Expressionist, helped pave the way for women in the arts. Working to move beyond the norm in their own fields, these two women created work that no other artists were making. Kara Walker, an American artist, known for her large-scale tableaux of cut paper silhouettes takes her place among significant women artists, and as one who is creating unique and powerful work. Walker’s work adds to the cultural dialogue by examining gender, sexuality and racially charged issues. – www.alanaveryartcompany.com
