Gallery Talk | Curator Kathleen A. Edwards discusses the exhibition Lil Picard and Counterculture New York


With Kathleen A. Edwards, Chief Curator, University of Iowa Museum of Art, and curator of the exhibition. Offered in conjunction with the exhibition Lil Picard and Counterculture New York. An early feminist, Lil Picard (1899–1994) was a fixture in the Downtown New York art scene of the 1950s, ’60s, and ’70s as both artist and critic. Multitalented—she also designed hats—Picard was born in Germany and emigrated to the United States in 1937. In a life spanning nearly a century, she associated with the Berlin Dada group in the 1920s; exhibited in Greenwich Village’s Tenth Street galleries in the 1940s; frequented Andy Warhol’s Factory; and created Happenings and took part in the performance scene in the 1960s and ’70s. Influenced early on by Brecht’s critical satire, Picard explored the trauma of the Vietnam War and other political issues in her multi-media installations. In addition to performance props and documentation, the exhibition includes over 70 paintings, sculptures, drawings, and collages, along with the artist’s personal letters, journals, photographs, fashion journalism, and art criticism.
