Writings by May Stevens

14 x 23cm 68pp very good card covered catalogue produced for a show called Existential Political, Works from the Fourth Decade by Rudolf Baranik and May Stevens at Exit Art, The First World Broadway, New York. In the art world, "Baranik and Stevens in words" refers to the profound pivot toward text, poetry, and linguistic abstraction taken by married artist-activists Rudolf Baranik and May Stevens later in their careers, a transition deeply shaped by personal tragedy - the suicide of their son. May Stevens was a feminist painter and educator from Massachusetts who was active in New York City, New York. She was a founding member of Guerrilla Girls, an anonymous group of feminist, female artists devoted to fighting sexism and racism within the art world, and the collective feminist journal Heresies , and taught at the School of Visual Arts, New York, from 1961-1996.
