A spokesperson says---

“...Making Their Mark: Works from the Shah Garg Collection presents 80 works by nearly 70 influential and boundary-pushing women artists of the 20th and 21st centuries, including Magdalena Abakanowicz, Andrea Bowers, Cecily Brown, Sheila Hicks, Jenny Holzer, Julie Mehretu, Joan Mitchell, Faith Ringgold, Tschabalala Self, Amy Sillman, Lorna Simpson, Jaune Quick-to-See Smith, Pat Steir, Sarah Sze, Kara Walker and Zarina....

Through paintings, prints, sculpture, ceramics, textiles and mixed-media works from 1946 to 2024, Making Their Mark illuminates the myriad ways women artists explore, expand and interrogate the boundaries of abstract art to foster vital discussion about representation, identity and power. The exhibition considers historical contributions, formal and material breakthroughs and intergenerational relationships among women artists, including many who pioneered abstraction over the last seven decades. In presenting a rich and interwoven picture of contemporary art history, the show also highlights the stories and voices of underrepresented artists...."
