In America, during the postwar push into Abstract Expressionism, a number of women elbowed their way into the limelight. Most, however, were ignored in favor of male artists, who at that time were nothing if not macho. Women were expected to return to their domestic roles after the war, and not just in America. “Beyond Form: Lines of Abstraction, 1950–1970” looks at women who resisted the call of the kitchen and made art, shouldering into the realm of radical abstraction. Among the international artists on view are Ruth Asawa, Mária Bartuszová, Louise Bourgeois, Eva Hesse, and Hannah Wilke. —Elena Clavarino
