Making Her Mark: Fifty Women Artists of the Historic Woodstock Art Colony Curated by Independent Scholar Bruce Weber Student researchers Adrianna Ashcraft ’26 and Audrey Blaszak ‘27

Curated by Ava Prickman ‘28, the Spring 2025 Susan ’77 and Joseph Biernat ‘75 Intern, this exhibition features Chinese Cultural Revolution propaganda posters from Gettysburg College Special Collections.

This exhibition spans 45 years of the work of Chinese-American artist Gan Yu. In the artist’s words, the works reflect not only a distinctive artistic style and personal response to social changes, but also offer visual impressions of the world economy across its various cycles. Since 2007, Yu has devoted 18 years to exploring the stock market as a subject through 10 different series, exhibiting them across the globe. He sees the stock market as a visual distillation of contemporary politics, economics, technology, and culture. The U.S. stock market, in particular, serves as a barometer for the world economy. Yu believes global financial markets represent the largest piece of collective action art in human history. From New York to London, and from Hong Kong to Shanghai, markets operate in a continuous relay—day and night—never ceasing. This persistent activity electronically generates ever-evolving patterns on stock charts, creating a living visual record of the uneven trajectory of modern economic and social developments.

Drawn primarily from Gettysburg College Special Collections and College Archives, this show features Civil War related visual culture from the 1860s through the 1938 75th reunion at Gettysburg. Curated by Students Danielle Russell ’25 and Jake Neff ’27.
