Rona Pondick Featured in NYU’s Grey Art Museum Exhibition

Anonymous Was A Woman: The First 25 Years, celebrates recipients of the titular grant supporting mid-career women artists in the United States.

Reflecting on a quarter century of artistic achievement, the exhibition showcases works by past awardees (1996–2020) and traces the development of contemporary art practice over the last twenty-five years, addressing issues of identity and community; the position of women artists in society; the shifting value of craft; the changing possibilities for installation and time-based media; as well as the many uses of anonymity.

Rona Pondick, whose work is featured in the exhibition, has used her own body to create self-portraits in various materials—such as the colored molded resin of Magenta Swimming in Yellow—that are at once deeply personal and anonymizing.
