They’re tons of fun.” Cristina Lei Rodriguez writes, “I was honored to have my work included in an exhibition at Phillips in New York from June 18 through August 3.” The exhibition called “NOMEN: American Women Artists from 1945 to Today” was curated by Phillips’ Senior Advisor and Director Emeritus of the Brooklyn Museum, Arnold Lehman. Phillips’ advertised the showcase with the follow- ing: “The Guerrilla Girls’ 1989 headliner ‘Do women have to be naked to get into the Met Museum?’ still stands as a rela- tive test of female to male participation in museum permanent collections and exhibitions nationwide. NOMEN alters that, at least temporarily, by specifically excluding works of art by men. NOMEN is an attempt to look at recent art history through the exceptional works made by American women artists from 1945 to today.” 1993 Class Agent: Elana Oberstein-Harris (elanaober@aol.com ) Jennifer Dubin writes, “Cora and I are thrilled to share that we welcomed Frances June to the world on 6/19.
