The Summer of Women
BRIEF ABOUT: The Patricia & Phillip Frost Art Museum launches The Summer of Women with powerful graphic art, “In the Beginning was the Word: Works by Corita Kent” on Saturday, May 14 and runs through September 18, 2016. It has only been recently, which Kent has been given the recognition she deserves, including the first full-scale survey of her work last year at the Andy Warhol Museum, prominent exhibitions at the National Museum of Women in the Arts and the Harvard Art Museums, and an upcoming exhibition at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.
In conjunction, there will also be two other exhibitions: “Suddenly Last Summer” and features new works by South Florida-based artists, Leah Brown, Donna Hayes and Michelle Weinberg, curated by AdrienneRose Gionta. Each artist has been given a room to create site-specific installations inspired by the hit song by The Motels. This exhibition closes September 25, 2016.
On Saturday, June 18 and on view through September 25, 2016, the museum debuts “Resonance/Dissonance” to be curated by Klaudio Rodriguez and featuring the works of women video artists from the de la Cruz Collection including Susanne Wintering, Sarah Morris, Tracey Emin, Aida Ruilova, Dara Friedman and Beatriz Monteavaro.
