Read a brief introduction

“Portraits of Sandra Day O’Connor” celebrates the art of portraiture by considering how a group of artists – The Painting Group – interprets the same subject – Sandra Day O’Connor – at the same time. The Painting Group, a New York-based group of 25 artists led by watercolorist and caricaturist David Levine and portrait painter Aaron Shikler, has been meeting regularly for 40 years. In October 2006, Justice Sandra Day O’Connor sat for the Painting Group for a full-day session with the artists. The exhibition includes the 25 portraits of O’Connor completed by the artists following that sitting.
