"Carol Hamoy: Portraits of the Artists as Young Girls"
2000-05-14 until 2000-07-02
Neuberger Museum of Art
Purchase, NY,
USA United States of America
This installation by Carol Hamoy exemplifies her ongoing interest in -her-story,- or a
recording of women's lives. The work focuses on female artists and their childhood
decisions to involve themselves in art. Little girls' bouffant dresses fashioned of paper and
hung from the ceiling represent selected individuals.
Each dress bears a photograph of a
particular artist at the age of five, reproduced on the bodice. Flags divulging the names
of other women artists are interspersed among the dresses. As viewers walk around and
among the dainty garments they will experience a sense of memory as well as vision.
Curated by Judy Collischan, Ph.D., Neuberger Museum of Art Associate Director for
Curatorial Affairs, and funded, in part, by the Friends of the Neuberger Museum of Art.
