The 31 Women Collection

In May 2023, Segal curated The 31 Women Collection exhibition, based on Peggy Guggenheim's 1943 Exhibition By 31 Women. Guggenheim's exhibition is the first documented all-women art exhibition in the United States of America — at the gallery. This 1943 month-long exhibition gathered together artists ranging from notable figures such as Frida Kahlo, Gypsy Rose Lee, Meret Oppenheim, Leonora Carrington, and Louise Nevelson, to others who were unknown artists in New York. The 31 Women Collection exhibition took place at Segal's office, the same location as Peggy Guggenheim's Art of This Century Gallery. It lasted for 31 hours spread out during May 15 to May 21st. Aiming to "sharpie women into history", Segal set out to collect works by every artist shown in the original exhibition so that their art could be shared with the world. As of May 2023, 143 works by 30 of the 31 women have been acquired. At the 2023 exhibition, one work per artist was displayed to the public.^[10]^[11]^[12]
