Say Hello to the Phyllis Krim Collection

We launched the Phyllis Krim Collection in our digital archive last week. In conjunction with the artist’s estate, we have added over 100 pieces of digitized ephemera, photographs, and audiovisual content that celebrates Krim’s body of work.

Krim was an artist active in the bohemian circles of New York’s storied downtown scene of the 1960s and 70s. She was best known for her paintings of classic cars, which she interpreted as allegorical symbols of power, beauty and strength.

As a woman artist painting portraits of machines, Krim endured sexist resistance to her art throughout her lifetime. Check out the introduction to Krim’s collection written by curator Emilie Trice.
