Microsoft Corporation donated New York artist Beverly Semmes’ Six Silvers (1996), a monumental fabric sculpture of six silver lamé dresses, to the Henry, leading to this fascinating exhibition of the Yale graduate’s feminist sculptures based on women’s clothing. Four new paintings from her Feminist Responsibility Project are being created especially for the Henry survey, organized by Senior Curator Shamim M. Momin.
