Twenty Six Contemporary Women Artists

Twenty Six Contemporary Women Artists was an art exhibition held at The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum from April 18 - June 13, 1971. It was the first show curated by Lucy R. Lippard. Lippard only included artists who had never had a solo exhibition. It featured 26 emerging New York based women artists.

In the preface to the catalog for the show Lippard stated:

The woman artist has tended to be seen either as another artist's wife, or girl, or as a dilettante. Now I know that, contrary to popular opinion, women are not any more "part-time artists" than anyone else.
