About the Event
Join us for a celebration of Sonia Delaunay, the prolific painter and designer who the New York Times says “filled the world with bold and delightful patterns and then let her paintings reflect the results”.
The Wall Street Journal calls her an underappreciated pioneer in graphic and commercial art and cites the recent exhibit at the Bard Graduate Center — Sonia Delaunay: Living Art — the “first serious US appraisal of her work in over 20 years”.
Hungry?
Grab a bite to eat after the event from our dining room (a normally member-only benefit)! Ticketed attendees who would like to stay for drinks and dinner should make dining reservations in advance via our Reservations page with the message “Women Art History dinner”.
