A compact exhibition with a massive presence, “Giant Women on New York” at James Fuentes Gallery takes its name from a series of drawings and collages by Anita Steckel dating from 1969 to ’74, where women the size of skyscrapers take over New York City.

The Giant Women Who Stomped on Art World Invisibility

One lesson of this compact, extraordinary exhibition of feminist art is that if you’re being ignored, you can do whatever you want — so take up space.
