Remembrance and Renewal:

American Artists and the Holocaust, 1940–1970

________

Exhibition open through December 14, 2025

Considerations of Jewish artistic expression and experience have long been absent from standard art historical narratives. Remembrance and Renewal aims to reconsider mid-twentieth-century American art from a Jewish perspective. Anna Walinska is featured in this exhibition, with a monumental painting from the museum's permanent collection, alongside works by canonical artists such as Mark Rothko, Robert Motherwell, and Frank Stella, as well as Louise Nevelson, Ben Shahn, Chaim Gross, and Barnett Newman.

Another work by the artist in the permanent collection of the

Eskenazi Museum. It is currently installed among works by other women artists working in abstraction.

Graham Shay represents the estate of Anna Walinska.
