Diane Arbus, Cindy Sherman, and Francesca Woodman: Innovations in 20th-Century Photography

Oct 22 – Nov 5, 2021
1395 Lexington Ave, New York, NY 10128, United States

After hitting it big in investment banking, Ronnit Vasserman left the world of business for the world of art—specifically, art consulting. The founder of Art Connect Group, a New York-based consulting firm, Vasserman will share her expertise with the public in three talks at the 92nd Street Y. Each focuses on a female photographer who was powerfully influential in the last century. First up, on October 22, is the midcentury photographer Diane Arbus, known for her intimate, yet queasy, black-and-white portraits. On October 29, Vasserman turns to Cindy Sherman, the still-working artist who reinvented self-portraiture. And on November 5, the series ends with a focus on Francesca Woodman, who died in 1981 at the age of 22, yet had already won acclaim for her haunting female-centric photos. Buy tickets in advance because the talks will not be recorded. —J.D.
