Rachel Vorsanger gesturing at artwork by Betty Parsons

Rachel discussed the dualities of the life, legacy, and artworks of Betty Parsons and the themes she saw in a newly opened exhibition (this exhibition), which included works Parsons made in Marion and abroad. Rachel also discussed the research she's done and plans to do on Parson's oeuvre, and the online Catalogue Raisonné she recently compiled: for her research, Rachel also traveled to Albuquerque, NM to scan the archive of a collector devoted to Betty Parsons.
