of greatest influence of Abstract Expressionism to my experiences as a woman artist before and after the Feminist Movement of the 70's. While I have never given formal lectures on either of the latter topics I have certainly dealt with these issues in seminar settings and conversations with students.. Although these days what is happening in one part of the world is pretty accessible worldwide, there is no substitute for the opportunity to discuss reactions and ask questions about contemporary events with a representative and witness of those events. As someone who has spanned quite a few real and ephemeral movements in the art world, I think I would be a valuable bridge to understanding or at least fostering awareness of the fads and fashions of art events in the United States. Rather than concentrating on a few super stars I could speak to the variety of work that has been achieved with less recognition but great dedication by a broad base of artists in many disciplines. Again this in not a subject I have taught formally but is certainly a topic of many conversations with students and a number of young artists from other countries.
