The Philadelphia Museum of Art (PMA) is pleased to announce Christina Ramberg: A Retrospective, the largest survey of Christina Ramberg (1946–1995) to date. On view from February 8 through June 1, 2025, this comprehensive retrospective brings together nearly 100 works, including paintings, quilts, sketchbooks, and archival ephemera, to illuminate Ramberg’s remarkable career and distinctive visual vocabulary. Ramberg metabolized an encyclopedia of imagery to interrogate embodied experiences of gender and normative ideals of female beauty, enacted through restrictions and rituals she presents as at once ridiculous, sinister, and sexy.

Well, I love all of this. If you’re in Philly, GO! (Christina was only 49 when she passed away from Pick's disease, an early-onset version of dementia.)

Did you hear? I recorded a BRAND NEW EPISODE of the podcast! After a 2 year hiatus, I dusted off my interviewing skills and talked to New York based, Mexican artist Raul De Lara… and we chatted in a fancy recording studio at the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD)! For those who’ve listened to my podcast for a long time, you’ll know I usually record under a fitted sheet attached to a painting easel in my office. So, yeah, this was a big step up! ;) You can download ART FOR YOUR EAR wherever you get your podcasts, or listen right here.

Have a great weekend ~ Danielle
