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

challenging informative inspiring medium-paced

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.
