Throughout her art career, Lisa Yuskavage (b. 1962) has explored the pressures of identification and stereotypes in her representations of female figures, challenging viewers with images that prompt internal reckonings with their own perceptions of gender, class, and status. The exhibition Lisa Yuskavage: Drawings, the first comprehensive museum presentation of Yuskavage’s works on paper, reveals the extensive range of Yuskavage’s experimentation with process and material in drawings produced from the early nineties to the present.
