This retrospective presents approximately 100 works from public and private collections, with several key pieces drawn from the Art Institute's collection. From intimate early paintings focused on the pattern and form of women's hairstyles and garments, to mature work featuring cropped female torsos in lingerie that contains and restrains, the exhibition presents her most iconic imagery while grappling with all phases and elements of Ramberg's continually evolving career. During the mid- to late 1970s, Ramberg pushed her boundary-blurring paintings into a new mode that straddled figuration and abstraction while still questioning idealized body types and gender presentation. These paintings are joined in the exhibition by the artist's experimental quilts of the late 1980s, when her pioneering obsession with handicraft, garment construction, and domestic textiles led her to abandon painting and focus fully on quilt making. The show additionally includes her final body of work as she returned once again to painting, making dark geometric abstractions that still reveal traces of her lifelong fascination, the human torso. The exhibition also recognizes that, in addition to her devotion to drawing, painting, printmaking, and quilting, Ramberg was a note-taker, slide-maker, collector, and diarist. Sketchbooks, 35mm slides, and dolls from Ramberg's informal archive of ephemera offer a fuller understanding of the artist's practice and how she digested an enormous breadth of source material to create her edgy yet empathetic body of work, or as she once put it, '[made] from my obsessions and ideas the strongest, most coherent visual statement possible.'
