Carnegie Museum of Art

Blog follower dc did the research and shared this info in a comment but I thought it should be in the body of the post
The 4 women artists featured in the Carnegie International are:
Maya Lin: Known for her environmental works and memorials, including the Vietnam Veterans Memorial.
Miriam Cahn: A Swiss artist recognized for her powerful paintings and drawings that address themes of gender and violence.
Mona Hatoum: A Palestinian-British artist whose work often explores themes of displacement and identity through various media.
Maja Bajević: A Bosnian artist whose installations and performances reflect on cultural identity and social issues.
This representation highlights ongoing discussions about gender equality in the art world, as noted by the Guerrilla Girls, who pointed out the historical underrepresentation of women artists in major exhibitions.

I bought some Gooseberry Preserves and a sheep key ring, some Irish afternoon tea. A great place to shop for gifts.
Thanks for accompanying me as I browse through the store.
