Making Their Mark: Works from the Shah Garg Collection
Barney A. Ebsworth Gallery, Garen Gallery, Saligman Family Atrium
organized by Shah Garg Foundation

Making Their Mark brings together more than fifty artworks from the Shah Garg Collection, which is committed to amplifying the voices and visions of women artists. The exhibition is the first public presentation of this important collection, premiering in New York in 2023. Making Their Mark juxtaposes contemporary practices with pathbreaking historical works to illuminate transgenerational affinities, influences, and methodologies among artists from the postwar era to the present. Featuring a wide spectrum of artworks spanning almost eight decades, the exhibition emphasizes dialogues between artists who circumvent and break through conventions in art-making, embracing craft techniques, uncommon supports, and alternative materials. Accompanied by a major publication produced in advance of the exhibition, Making Their Mark assembles significant examples by artists whose works go beyond prescribed definitions of art-making established within a historically patriarchal field.
The exhibition is curated by Cecilia Alemani, Donald R. Mullen Jr. Director and Chief Curator of High Line Art, and Sabine Eckmann, William T. Kemper Director and Chief Curator at the Kemper Art Museum.
