"Alter"ing American Art

A Selection From PAFA's Linda Lee Alter Collection of Art by Women

Exhibition Website

Oct 2 2018 - Dec 16 2018

Inspired by June Wayne's series of lithographs dedicated to her immigrant mother, Dorothy, "Alter"ing American Art: A Selection From PAFA's Linda Lee Alter Collection of Art by Women examines the shifting definition of what it means to be "American."

Through three sections focusing on the communal, familial, and material world around them, selections from the Linda Lee Alter Collection of Work by Women will highlight how artists have expressed, constructed, and found identity. The Linda Lee Alter Collection of Art by Women was generously gifted to PAFA in 2010 to create a more equitable representation of women, within the broader American art canon.
