A Show of Over 100 Women Artists Offers Redress but No Resolution

MIAMI — The exhibition of over 100 women artists currently on view at the Rubell Family Collection is difficult to review because the works do not all fit into the space and the decision was made to rotate them over the course of the show. The plan is to gradually replace some works with others, but because there doesn’t appear to be any overriding theme — apart from the fact that the creators are all women — I’m not sure how one might emerge by switching some pieces in the collection with others. One applauds the decision to create greater visibility for women, yet one also wonders if several discrete, thematically curated shows might have allowed the individual women to look stronger.
