The second Andersen Window Gallery installation focuses on Anne Ryan (1889-1954), an active member of the burgeoning New York art world of the 1940s and 1950s. Best known for her exquisitely executed collages (she produced nearly 400 during the last six years of her life), Ryan was well-versed in several media. The Art and Life of Anne Ryan presents Ryan’s poetry, printmaking, painting, and collages as well as work by her contemporaries and archival material from the Walker Art Center, the Papers of Anne Ryan, and the Douglass Morse Howell Estate to illustrate this exceptionally talented artist’s place in the cultural history of the 20th century.
