Making Their Mark: Works from the Shah Garg Collection

Making Their Mark brings together over eighty works by an intergenerational and international group of women artists represented in the San Francisco Bay Area–based Shah Garg Collection. Featuring a wide spectrum of artworks—including painting, sculpture, installation, textile, beadwork, and ceramics from the past eight decades—the exhibition explores how women artists, especially those working in abstraction, pushed through societal and art-making conventions by embracing unique approaches to painting, craft techniques, uncommon materials, advanced technologies and eclectic formal vocabularies. The exhibition places leading contemporary practitioners in dialogue with an earlier generation of artists whose work anticipated current discussions of figuration and abstraction as well as identity and power.
