As the sole female survivor of the now famed 1950’s NY Abstract Expressionist art period, the esteemed artist Audrey Flack, 90, reminisces what it was like then - upon entering a musuem exhibit featuring works by the most acclaimed women artists of that era. (The Heroines of Abstract Expressionism at the Nassau County Museum of Art).

As an aspiring artist emerging into that glamorous, vibrant yet raucous NY School downtown art scene, 70 years ago, she divulges the challenges female artist faced in a male dominated art world.

Revealing tabloid worthy tales about the era’s art legends, Flack critics and compares the works on display by her colleagues, and her own, with an insider eye that only a fellow artist can.

Divulging stories about her long time friendships with various artists displayed, she is the last female artist standing today that can provide “an inner circle“ perspective of that historic art period, that still today compels young artists and savvy art collectors to flock to NYC to seek its fumes.
