James Panero, one of the great art critics of our time, dedicates his entire Gallery Chronicle in the November issue of The New Criterion to the discussion of the To be a Lady exhibition…”
Panero writes:
“I can pretty much imagine how the show To be a Lady: forty-five women in the arts took shape. Jason Andrew, the curator of this exhibition of female artists that spans a century and focuses significantly—but not exclusively—on abstract painting and sculpture, has one of the most observant eyes in art.

A panel of artists and historians will join curator Jason Andrew to investigate the contemporary art world with a particular focus on the state of women in the arts. This panel is presented in collaboration with the Art Students League.
