Female artists make up a bit over 50% of acknowledged artists today, yet fewer than 5 to 6% of American museum holdings represent works by female artists. Explore three women whose works are or soon will be presented locally: Yayoi Kusama with "One with Eternity;" a follow-up to her blockbuster "Infinity Mirror Room at the Hirshhorn;" Lynda Benglis with her "pours" resembling paintings but sitting on the floor at the National Gallery of Art; and Emma Amos, former "Guerrilla Girl," with her bold colors, words, and fabrics creating figurative works in a major retrospective at the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
