Rehistoricizing the Time Around Abstract Expressionism in the San Francisco Bay Area, 1950s-1960s

The goal for this project is to complete the digital and written gathering of exclusively "first voice" biographical material of 23 Women Artists and Artists of Color active in the San Francisco Bay Area from the 1950’s to the late 1960’s, when their histories were undervalued because of public and personal hegemonic social an aesthetic scrutiny. The archive will be housed at the Anne Bremer Memorial Library, San Francisco Art Institute. An exhibition of work by these artists is now in the planning stages for the Luggage Store Gallery, San Francisco, California.
