Betty Parsons Survey at Bard College Designed by Amy Sillman

A survey of Betty Parsons, the gallerist who championed Abstract Expressionists like Jackson Pollock and Mark Rothko from the 1940s onward, is now on view at Bard College. The exhibition, designed by artist Amy Sillman, shifts focus to Parsons's own artistic practice, showcasing her paintings and sculptures. Parsons, who died in 1982, was also a prolific artist whose work has been historically overshadowed by her gallery's legacy. The show aims to reassess her contributions as both a dealer and a maker.
