- **Event Description**: Join Gail Levin and Deborah Solomon for a lively chat about artist Alice Baber in person!About this EventAt the time of her premature death at just fifty-four, the paintings of Alice Baber (1928 - 1982) had already entered the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art, the Metropolitan, the Guggenheim, and the Whitney. How could such an accomplished and visionary artist then fall into near obscurity?In Alice Baber: An Artist's Triumph Over Tragedy, the artist's fascinating story is finally revealed despite concerted efforts to consign her to oblivion. Levin's biography is a vital corrective to the history of American art and a thrilling opportunity for the next generation to experience Baber anew. Vividly written and richly detailed, Levin's life takes us on a journey through her rural upbringing to her years exhibiting around the world and experience the heady mid-century art world in all its glory. We witness Baber's talent and ambition, her tenacity and charm, and learn how her feminist activism and her work as a curator helped other artists.Gail Levin is Distinguished Professor of art history, fine &amp; performing arts, American studies, and women’s studies at Baruch College and the Graduate Center, of the City University of New York.

These follow her earlier biographies of Lee Krasner and Judy Chicago.Leon Levy Center Biography Fellow Deborah Solomon is an art critic, journalist and biographer.
