This is the title of the current exhibit at The Pen and Brush, Inc. on West 10th Street in the Village. This exhibit showcases the work of over 70 women artists.
Why is this question being asked? Does "Fine Art" command more respect, higher prices, etc., than work that is not considered "Fine Art?" To whom does this matter most, to the collector, the investor, or the creator?
This exhibit reminded me of my prejudices vis-a-vis "Fiber Art." I still cannot appreciate it in the same way that I respond, positively or negatively to a painting, a print, a piece of sculpture or a photograph. Perhaps my vision is limited. I still think of textiles as "crafty." Have I been brainwashed by all those art history courses in college?
