Gwen Chanzit, Curator Emerita, Denver Art Museum

"Women of Abstract Expressionism"

In conjunction with the exhibition, "Mary Abbott: The Living Possibility of Paint," Gwen will revisit her groundbreaking exhibition, "Women of Abstract Expressionism," which included Abbott's work. The exhibition opened at the Denver Art Museum in 2016 and traveled for a year. In 2019, it was named as one of the most important of the decade by both ARTnews and Hyperallergic. The catalogue, edited by Joan Marter with contributions by noted scholars, is now in its fifth printing.

In addition to her role as the Curator of Modern Art and the Herbert Bayer Collection and Archive at the Denver Art Museum, Gwen is a Professor Emerita of the Practice and Director of Museum Studies in Art History at the University of Denver. Regarded as the world expert on Bauhaus artist Herbert Bayer, she organized more than 30 exhibitions for the Denver Art Museum, including "Figure to Field, Mark Rothko in the 1940s" and "Joan Miró: Instinct and Imagination."
