Betty Parsons: An Expanded World

Betty Parsons: An Expanded World is the first major retrospective to examine the intertwined legacies of Betty Parsons (1900 - 1982) as both pioneering abstract artist and trailblazing gallerist who shaped the trajectory of 20th century American art.

Best known for ushering in the American avant-garde by establishing the careers of Barnett Newman, Mark Rothko, and Jackson Pollock, among others, Parsons also maintained a dedicated artistic practice throughout her life. This exhibition centers her output as a painter and sculptor, while exploring the radical history of the Betty Parsons Gallery and its support of underrecognized, experimental artists.

Limited free seating is available on a roundtrip chartered bus from New York City for the June 27 opening. Reservations are required and can be made on this by calling +1 845-758-7598 or emailing Mary Rozell at [email protected].
