Ruth Wall: Bay Area Postwar Abstract Painter and Printmaker

Ruth Wall is one of several Bay Area Postwar artists whose work is currently receiving renewed interest. As the region's art history is still being written and new scholarship emerges, previously overlooked women artists such as Wall are being highlighted in groundbreaking gallery and museum exhibitions. Wall, in particular, has been at the center of a reevaluation of the Bay Area's Abstract Expressionist movement, as her experiments in painting and printmaking are unparalleled.
