Dunkelman, Loretta (American, contemporary), The Stadium Series / Delphi, 1976, oil wax, chalk and pencil on paper, apparently unsigned, 10 x 7.25 inches, matted and framed 14.5 x 12 inches. Acquired at A.I.R. Gallery, the first not-for-profit, artist-directed and maintained gallery for women artists in the United States, that Dunkelman co-founded. Dunkelman's image is included in the iconic 1972 poster Some Living American Women Artists by Mary Beth Edelson, and her work was exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art, Whitney Museum of American Art and the Smithsonian American Art Museum, among others. Provenance: from the personal collection of art historian Ann Sutherland Harris, Pittsburgh, PA. In 1976 Harris, along with feminist art historian Linda Nochlin, co-curated the Women Artists: 1550-1950 exhibition at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and co-authored the accompanying catalog. The show also travelled to Austin, Brooklyn and Pittsburgh, and helped to open up the field of women’s studies in the discipline. Harris was a founding member and first president of the Women’s Caucus for Art. She wrote nine books and exhibition catalogues (including works on Artemisia Gentileschi and Alice Neel), more than a hundred articles and reviews, and was part of the faculty at the University of Pittsburgh from 1984-2012.
