Ninth Street Women: Lee Krasner, Elaine de Kooning, Grace Hartigan, Joan Mitchell, and Helen Frankenthaler: Five Painters and the Movement That Changed Modern Art by Mary Gabriel

4.0
Excellent biography of five women artists that were central to Abstract Expressionism in New York City, but more than that it looks at a huge array of supporting characters, from Jackson Pollock to Frank O'Hara and many others. It is a compelling narrative of an era, examining in detail its art and society.
