PAFA Explores The Female Gaze

Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts (PAFA)

Artist Linda Lee Alter began collecting art by women in the mid 1980s after finding a dearth of female artists represented in museums and galleries. She collected a variety of art in different styles and media, and in 2010 donated approximately 500 works to Philadelphia's Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. Now on view at PAFA, The Female Gaze: Women Artists Making Their World, is an exhibition of nearly 250 works from the collection.

Be sure to check out a companion exhibition opening at PAFA on Saturday, January 12th:Modern Women at PAFA: From Cassatt to O'Keeffe.
