A Conversation with Nancy Spero, Margaret Harrison and Jo-Anna Isaak

June 14 1989

An informal discussion moderated by Jo-Anna Isaak, that touched on issues of feminism and art with American artist Nancy Spero and British artist Margaret Harrison. Both of these artists had exhibitions on view at The New Museum at that time.1

Spero’s exhibition, “Nancy Spero: Works Since 1950,” was the first comprehensive exhibition in the United States of Spero’s art.  It offered insights into the activist-artist’s explorations of self-identification, the role of gender and aggression, and the representation of feminine sexuality.2
