Women Artists and Postwar Abstraction | HOW TO SEE the art movement with MoMA curator Starr Figura

Many people recognize names like Pollock and de Kooning, but far fewer know of female artists like Lee Krasner, Magdalena Abakanowicz, and Lee Bontecou who made their own space in an often resistant art world. MoMA curator Starr Figura introduces MoMA's new exhibition "Making Space" which shines a spotlight on the stunning achievements of women artists between the end of World War II and the start of the Feminist movement in the late 1960s.
