She has additionally exhibited at the Tate Gallery, London, The Brooklyn Museum, the Tate Modern, the Sculpture Triennale in Hungary and the Mattress Factory Museum, Pittsburgh, PA. 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. Harris has written the full line by Rainer Maria Rilke on the verso, "She spends anxious hours leaning on her windowsill, tense and distracted, on the edge of her soul."
