Despite their work often being overlooked, women artists developed and worked in abstraction alongside their male counterparts for many decades.  In recent years, their contributions have been re-evaluated and these artists have been viewed with a new lens.  This exhibition seeks to highlight women in the CRMA collection working in abstraction.  Their approaches to abstraction vary; some slightly abstract their subject matter, while others move completely away from any recognizable object.  Each of their abstractions operates on a unique emotional and intellectual level.
