This lack of recognition from MoMA angered abstract artists working in New York and was the impetus behind the founding of American Abstract Artists later that year.

  • The Story of Esphyr Slobodkina Caps for Sale
    1 THE STORY OF ESPHYR SLOBODKINA AND CAPS FOR SALE (for children 9-up and educators) Derived from Slobodkina’s memoirs: “Notes for A Biographer” This is the story of how Esphyr Slobodkina, who grew up observing and remembering, and learned to use her imagination to affect millions of people through art. Esphyr Slobodkina was born in Chelyabinsk Russia many years ago. She had a loving mother and father, a sister and two brothers. She was the youngest child. When Esphyr was five years old she became sick for a very long time. The illness was contagious. Figure 1: Esphyr was quarantined from her friends and The Slobodkin family before Esphyr's birth siblings. She spent weeks in bed. During this time Esphyr’s brother died of scarlet fever. Her mother, also very ill, had to go away for a while. Her father worked all day and sometimes evenings. Esphyr was very sick, very sad, and very lonely. Karabajak, a peddler who travelled all over selling religious objects, came upon Esphyr’s family at this heartbreaking time. Karabajak thought about how he might help the Slobodkin family. He did not turn his back and go looking for a happier situation. He knew Esphyr’s father and that he was a good man. And so Karabajak the peddler, stayed in the town to assist Mr. Slobodkin however he could. While Karabajak helped at the Slobodkin house Esphyr’s loneliness and illness got him thinking what he might do to cheer her up. He found a Figure 2: Mr. Slobodkin box of Christmas decorations left over from a and Karabajack the peddler, in happier times, good deed the Slobodkin family had done years dressed as Arabs before.

  • The Missing Future: Moma And
    the missing future: moma and modern women / griselda pollock Among the many reasons women took to the streets in 1970 was, perhaps surprisingly, art. Angry artists, critics, curators, and art historians stomped militantly around The Museum of Modern Art, protesting the unrepresen- tative picture of the modern century perpetuated by institutions that appeared to exhibit only the work of men, and thus to educate their ever-expanding publics in a half-truth about the nature of art and modernity, one that would continue to “disappear” contemporary women artists. That same year, at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, curator Henry Geldzahler showed forty-three artists in the exhibition New York Painting and Sculpture, 1940– 1970. Only one was a woman. Helen Frankenthaler (no. 2) was rightly included, but Nell Blaine, Elaine de Kooning, Grace Hartigan (no. 3), Lee Krasner, Joan Mitchell (no. 1), and Louise Nevelson (no. 4)—to name just a few—were not. If artists who were women were still being kept from public knowledge, what would happen if the institutions and their selective stories were not challenged in the name of both the erased past and the missing future? Women Found the museums The history of museums, taste, and the collecting of modern art in the United States owes much to influential women amateurs. The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s marvelous collections of later-nineteenth-century French art are based in Louisine Havemeyer’s remarkable holdings, astutely assembled under the thoughtful guid- ance of American painter Mary Cassatt.1 The involvement 1.
