Women, Children and Immigrants: Major Voices in Contemporary Art
Turner Carroll Gallery & Art Advisors, 02/01/2017 - 03/30/2017
ABOUT
In honor of the enormous contributionWomen, Children, and Immigrants have made to
contemporary art in the United States, Turner Carroll is devoting its exhibition space to them
through the end of Women's History Month (March, 2017). The exhibition features works
by Hung Liu, who came to the U.S. legally from China in 1984 with twenty dollars and two
suitcases. She left her young son behind in China while she made her way in the U.S. She
endured Mao's proletariat "re-education" program, toiling in the rice and wheat fields in the
countryside seven days a week for 4 years. Hung Liu has become one of the most important
contemporary artists of our time, and she just happens to be a woman and an immigrant.
Other artists whose works are featured in the exhibition include Raphaelle Goethals (Belgium),
Nina Tichava, Jamie Brunson, Holly Roberts, Mavis McClure, Karen Yank, Wanxin Zhang (China),
Georges Mazilu (Romania), Suzanne Sbarge, Brenda Zappitell, Drew Tal (Israel), Traian Filip
(Romania), Fausto Fernandez (Mexico), and Igor Melnikov (Russia). The voices of women and
immigrant artists have been the voice of Turner Carroll Gallery and Art Advisors since its inception
in 1991. They have portrayed the history of the countries they left behind, and have opened a
window of perception for Americans who have seen their works. Turner Carroll is honored and
grateful to share their artistic journey.
Gallery talk times to be announced.
