This exhibition commemorates the 100th anniversary of the first comprehensive exhibit of works by American women. The show includes approximately 70 etchings by such artists as Mary Cassatt, Ellen Day Hale, Martha Scudder Twachtman, and Gabrielle Clements.

See a small exhibition that includes photographs, papers, letters and personal notebooks documenting the art patron's support of American artists— support which culminated in the creation of the Whitney Museum of American Art.

Inspired by exotic and intricate motifs of Egyptian, Islamic and American Indian cultures, the New York artist transforms one of the Renwick's galleries into a striking array of color and pattern.

Founded in 1880 by Maria Longworth Nichols in Cincinnati, the company developed various types of art pottery which influenced the art pottery movement of the late 19th century.
