“Jasmin focuses intensely on a limited number of tools but employs fantastic invention and tremendous finesse each time she sets out to make something.”
- Mark Pascale, curator at The Art Institute of Chicago, in conversation with Hilarie M. Sheets, Elle Decor

In June of 2015, Miriam Schapiro, the pioneering feminist artist and founding member of the Pattern and Decoration movement, passed away at the age of ninety-one. Surprisingly, given her status as the elder stateswoman of the feminist art movement, the tremendous impact of her oeuvre on contemporary art has yet to be fully acknowledged or critically assessed. This exhibition seeks to redress this gap in the history of American art through an exploration of Schapiro’s signature femmages, the term she coined to describe her distinctive hybrid of painting and collage inspired by women’s domestic arts and crafts and the feminist critique of the hierarchy of art and craft.
