The Menil Collection presents Janet Sobel: "All-Over," featuring some 30 paintings and drawings made by Sobel (1893-1968). The exhibition will explore Sobel’s work during her short-lived but meteoric rise to prominence as one of the first artists associated with Abstract Expressionism to pioneer a new approach to modern abstraction known as “all-over” painting.
The show will bring together significant loans from U.S. museums, private collections, and the artist’s family that reveal Sobel’s exceptionally inventive and influential approach to modern abstraction. Major loans from Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art, New York, and the San Diego Museum of Art reunite six of the artist’s famous “all-over” paintings for the first time in 60 years.
