It would be hard to imagine a season with more promising shows, on more kinds of art, from more corners of the world. In terms of 19th- and 20th-century painting, for example, there..."

"Hi, I am trying to find the name of the artist who took and is in the photograph that follows- http://www.brooklynmuseum.org/opencollection/exhibitions/664/Global_Feminisms_Remix/image/216/Global_Feminisms_Remix._%7C08032007_-_03032008%7C._Installation_view.

Can you help me find her information? Thanks in advance- Aimee Record"
