1969 Gallery is proud to present Princess Botticelli, Emma Steinkraus’s first solo exhibition at the gallery. Steinkraus’s work is influenced by her research into art history, women’s history, and the flora and fauna of the Shenandoah Valley where she lives. In this incredibly multi-layered exhibition, she repurposes imagery from mythology, the Italian Renaissance and Romanticism to ask questions about femininity and humanity’s destruction of the biosphere.
