EUNICE GOLDEN
Duane Thomas Gallery Presents a Solo Exhibition of Eunice Golden’s Works from 1968–1973
Opening April 11, 2025 with a reception 6/8pm
New York, NY — March 24, 2025 — Duane Thomas Gallery is honored to announce a solo exhibition of works by groundbreaking artist Eunice Golden, opening on April 11, 2025. This focused presentation will showcase a pivotal body of work created between 1968 and 1973, including Golden’s powerful and provocative series of drawings titled Rape. The exhibition will remain on view through May 2nd, 2025.
Eunice Golden, who died on April 3rd 2025 at the age of 98, is known for her visceral exploration of sexuality, power, and the human body. A key figure in the feminist art movement of the 1970s, Golden’s work challenged conventional depictions of the male and female form, using abstraction and expressionism to confront the complexities of desire, vulnerability, and aggression.
The centerpiece of the exhibition, the Rape series, offers an unflinching examination of sexual violence, exploring the psychological and physical dimensions of trauma through raw, gestural mark-making. These drawings, created during a politically charged era of feminist awakening, remain strikingly relevant today, engaging viewers in a dialogue about consent, agency, and the body as a site of both pleasure and violation.
In addition to the Rape series, the exhibition will feature a selection of large-scale canvases that reflect Golden’s signature approach to figuration, abstraction, and expressive use of color and form. The exhibition will offer a rare opportunity to experience the emotional intensity and technical mastery that define Golden’s practice.
Eunice Golden’s work from this period confronts the complexities of gender and power with remarkable courage and clarity, Her exploration of the body—both as a source of strength and vulnerability—continues to resonate deeply with contemporary audiences.
An opening reception will be held on April 11, 2025, from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM at Duane Thomas Gallery, located at 137 West Broadway, 3rd floor].
