Yale celebrates 150 years of Yale-educated women artists in a new art exhibition. Titled "On the Basis of Art: 150 Years of Women at Yale," the exhibition was curated by Lisa Hodersmarky. Held at the Yale University Art Gallery, the show spans a broad range of media.
Comprised of sculptures, videos, watercolor paintings, and photographs, the show celebrates two anniversaries: the 50th anniversary of co-education at the university and the 150th anniversary of Yale's first accepted female students. The exhibit weaves cross-cultural references into its eclectic curation. The diverse selection of artists showcases the wide-ranging talents that walked through Yale's halls. Some featured participating artists include Rona Pondick, Sarah Sze, Mickalene Thomas, Victoria Samburanis, and Maya Lin.
