Americans in Paris: Artists Working in Postwar France, 1946–1962 is the first major exhibition to examine the historical impact of the expatriate art scene in Paris after World War II, and delves into the various circles of artists who made France their home during an era of intense geopolitical realignment. This international loan exhibition showcases more than 130 works by approximately 70 artists, providing a fresh perspective on a moment of creative ferment too often overshadowed by the contemporaneous ascendancy of the New York City art scene.

In 1996, artist and philanthropist Susan Unterberg founded the Anonymous Was a Woman (AWAW) award, making a simple, yet radical commitment to redress the lack of institutional support for women-identifying visual artists over the age of 40. Showcasing work by a selection of awardees from AWAW’s first 25 years, the exhibition explores several themes surrounding anonymity and, ultimately, celebrates the transformative impact women artists have made on contemporary art since the award’s founding.
