The Jewish Museum will present Rachel Feinstein: Maiden, Mother, Crone, the first survey of the New York-based artist in the United States, from November 1, 2019 through March 22, 2020. Three decades of Feinstein's work in sculpture, installation, painting, drawing, and video, as well as a newly commissioned wall-relief, a panoramic wallpaper, and the artist's sculptural maquettes will be brought together to emphasize her fascination with the dualistic nature of cultural expression and everyday life, how fundamental yet oppositional concepts coexist and are ceaselessly negotiated in art and the construction of identity. From Feinstein's earliest to her most recent works, female figures and protagonists dominate - a distinguishing feature of both the artist's practice and this exhibition. Feinstein probes how notions of 'the feminine' manifest in the popular imagination, an investigation that pulses through and binds together Maiden, Mother, Crone.
