Legacy III: Contemporary Women Artists
The Brevard Museum of Art and Science opened its "Legacy III:
Contemporary Women Artists" exhibition on Saturday, July 15, 2000.
This exhibition offers a rare opportunity to view a collection of artwork
from ten renowned contemporary women artists. Jennifer Bartlett, Carolyn
Brady, Viola Frey, Jane Hammond, Holly Lane, Hung Liu, Elizabeth Murray,
Mary Neumuth, Naomi Siegmann and Kiki Smith will all be showcased in this
exhibition designed to enhance the Museum's permanent collection. "The
work of contemporary women artists is a collection focus for our Museum,"
says Jackie Borsanyi. "This exhibition brings together some of the
most respected mid-career women artists working today...ten women with completely
different sensibilities who are all powerful communicators of their own
personal visions." Regardless of gender, artists like Murray and Bartlett
are already recognized by art critics as major innovators in contemporary
art. (left: Viola Frey, The Three Hags, ceramic, 49 x 40 x

The
works are available for purchase for the collection while on exhibit. Aid

has pledged at least $20,000 towards the purchase of work from this exhibition.
Contributions to a special museum fund during the exhibition will also go
