Drawings Of Lisa Yuskavage
June 20, 2025
The Morgan Library & Museum will present Lisa Yuskavage: Drawings, the first career-spanning museum exhibition dedicated to the drawings of the acclaimed contemporary artist Lisa Yuskavage (b. 1962). Opening Friday, June 27, the exhibition will highlight more than three decades of Yuskavages intimate, inventive, and genre-defying works on paper. One of the most influential and original artists working today, Yuskavage is known for her charged portrayals of female subjects, infused with psychological depth, social commentary, and an enduring commitment to the history of painting. At once confrontational and meditative, her works blur the boundaries between high and low art, exploring traditional genres, portrait, landscape, and still life, with a contemporary eye to issues of female transgression and empowerment rooted in popular culture. In her own words, she is interested in making art about how things are rather than how they should be. To learn more, visit www.themorgan.org.
