Featuring more than 100 collection works, Half the Picture: A Feminist Look at the Collection focused on enduring political subjects—encompassing gender, race, and class—that remain relevant today. Spanning almost one hundred years, the exhibition focuses on historical and contemporary work by more than fifty artists who combine message and medium to engage with political and social issues.

It was co-curated by Carmen Hermo and Catherine Morris (Sackler Senior Curator, Brooklyn Museum).
