Recovering Lost Voices

Recovering women's contributions to art history has been one of the most important scholarly projects of recent decades. Researchers have identified many women artists whose work was credited to male contemporaries, stored away in museum basements, or erased from the record entirely.

The reattributions keep coming. Works long credited to male masters have been reassigned to female painters through analysis of technique, documentation, and scientific testing — each one reshaping what we assumed about who was really making art.
