Catalogue from the gallery exhibit held March 8 – April 2, 2011. With more than 40 artworks on view from the 1960s, 1970s, and today, the exhibition included pieces dating from Strider’s early exhibitions at Pace Gallery, including the influential “First International Girlie Exhibit” of 1964 and two subsequent solo shows. Strider’s bikinied beauties, such as the woman in Green Triptych (1963), acknowledge the fantasy of the pin-up girl while simultaneously dispelling it. These pieces were a focus of the Brooklyn Museum’s recent “Seductive Subversion: Women Pop Artists 1958–1968,” which was named best national thematic show by the U.S. Art Critics Association. This exhibition also presented recent paintings that return to the subject matter that launched her career. In Big Bite and Invitation (both 2010), Strider continues to explore color and form through simplified and cropped compositions. And in paintings such as Descending and Eyeful, both from 2010, Strider evokes references from art history (Duchamp) and popular culture (James Bond) with wit and enthusiasm. The catalogue includes an essay by award-winning poet and critic John Yau, a checklist of the exhibition, and an extensive chronology.
