PUT IT THIS WAY: (RE)VISIONS OF THE HIRSHHORN COLLECTION

This exhibition unites almost a century of work by 49 women and nonbinary artists in a range of media drawn exclusively from the Hirshhorn’s permanent collection. Washington, DC artists Alma Thomas and Anne Truitt are among the diverse group being exhibited, some for the first time, in this full floor presentation.

Titled after a 1963 painting by American pop artist Rosalyn Drexler, whose work is featured in the first gallery, “Put It This Way” is organized by Hirshhorn Associate Curator Anne Reeve. The exhibition speaks to traditionally marginalized artists’ decisive and virtuosic achievements, and investigates a wide array of aesthetic, political and historical concerns.
