Marjorie Strider's 1960s Pop Art Paintings Exhibited for First Time Since 1965 at Hollis Taggart
For the first time since 1965, Marjorie Strider's hybrid paintings, which showcase carved reliefs of flowers, breasts, lips, and vegetables, are being displayed together at Pace. This exhibition at Hollis Taggart Galleries in New York City is scheduled from March 8 to April 2, 2011. Among the highlighted pieces are Red Roses (1962), Come Hither (1963), and Green Vertical (1964), along with some of her more recent works. Strider, much like Roy Lichtenstein, drew on Pop imagery from Playboy, infusing it with art historical elements. Her significant piece, Green Triptych (1963), depicts a bathing beauty. This exhibition underscores the overlooked contributions of female artists in the 1960s Pop Art scene, celebrating Strider's rediscovery after 45 years.
