Betty Parsons: Blue sky very high

Championing abstract expressionists like Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, and Barnett Newman, Betty Parsons remains best known as the founder and driving force behind the Betty Parsons Gallery, which played a pivotal role in the history of modernism. But Parsons also was herself a painter, and continued her practice throughout her long life.

A series of paintings spanning over two decades of Betty Parsons’ career, which depict her ongoing investigation of landscape as explored through a range of approaches to abstraction. Also included in this exhibition are some of Parsons’ painted driftwood constructions.
