jo ann rothschild: warm to the touch

October 19 - November 23, 2024

Jo Ann Rothschild has had an enduring impact on contemporary painting in Boston and nationally since her recognition in 1993 as the first recipient of the Boston’s Museum of Fine Arts’ Maud Morgan Prize. In 2024, The National Gallery of Art exhibited their recent acquisition of Mom's Yahrzeit (2021) in their collection of American abstractionists of the sixties through the nineties. Rothschild’s 92” x 122” un-stretched canvas, In Franklin Field (for Kimberly Rae Harbour), (1990), is currently on display at the Museum of Fine Arts through January 2025. Rothschild also recently published an updated version of her anti-misogynist The Book of Penis!, provocative and subversive cartoons first published in 2010 by Pressed Wafer, Boston.
