The Lyndhust Mansion in Hudson, New York, recently served as a set for the HBO series The Gilded Age. Now, the Gothic Revival house is the backdrop for an exhibition that explores how modern female artists have been inspired by domestic objects from past eras. Think pin cushions, rugs, quilts, silhouettes. A painted porcelain plate from 1910, for instance, is paired with the Viriginia Woolf test plate from Judy Chicago’s The Dinner Party. “The womanly arts?” Chicago told The New York Times. “You’re not allowed to think about them. They’re not art, right? They’re craft.” A train ride up to Hudson should prove the critics wrong. —Clara Molot
