Dear ARLIS/NA Colleagues, We hope you can join us for this exciting upcoming event, hosted by the WPI. *Erotic Art and Feminism in the 1960s* — with Rachel Middleman *Thursday, June 22, 2023 at 1:00 pm ET* Register here <https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_iazhxQtzSLq4i4-YCB_OmQ> In 1960s New York, erotic art was a broad, popular category that included everything from Pop art to abstract sculpture. The elasticity of the term “erotic” created a space in which women, later associated with the feminist art movement of the 1970s, publicly confronted stereotypes of gender and expressed their ideas about sexuality. This talk will explore the sexual politics of erotic art across diverse media and the ways that women artists sought to reshape the sexist conventions of “the nude” and upend the presumed objectivity of formalism. Rachel Middleman is Associate Professor of Art History at California State University, Chico. She is the author of *Radical Eroticism: Women, Art, and Sex in the 1960s* (University of California Press, 2018). She has published in *Art Journal*, *Les Cahiers du Musée National d’Art Moderne*, *Konsthistorisk tidskrift*, and *Woman’s Art Journal* and contributed to edited volumes and exhibition catalogues, including *Academics, Artists, and Museums: 21st-Century Partnerships *(2018),* Enchanted Modernities: Theosophy, the Arts and the American West *(2019); *In the Cut: The Male Body in Feminist Art* (2019); *Women, Aging, and Art: A Crosscultural Anthology* (2021); *Joan Semmel: Skin in the Game* (2021);and* Supernatural America: The Paranormal in American Art* (2021).
