Why is Miriam Schapiro's 'Autobiography' a significant piece for collectors?
'Autobiography' (1968) marks a pivotal transition in Miriam Schapiro’s career from Abstract Expressionism toward feminist themes. It represents a sophisticated blend of geometric abstraction and personal narrative, making it a cornerstone for those interested in the evolution of 20th-century feminist art history.
What are the physical dimensions and quality of the frame?
This print comes in a 70x100 cm frame made of solid, responsibly sourced oak and ash. The frame is 20mm (0.79") thick and wide, providing a sturdier, more premium presence than standard 14mm frames, finished in an elegant black.
Is the paper archival and fade-resistant?
Yes, we use 250 gsm (110 lb) natural white museum-quality paper. It is archival and acid-free, meaning it won’t yellow or degrade over time, ensuring your fine art print maintains its original brilliance for decades.
How is the artwork protected during shipping and display?
Each print is protected by high-quality, shatterproof plexiglass, which provides a clear view while preventing damage. We ship in robust, secure packaging to ensure your archival masterpiece arrives in pristine condition, ready to hang.

What was Miriam Schapiro’s influence on the 'Femmage' movement?
Schapiro coined the term 'femmage' to describe the fusion of high art with traditional female crafts. While 'Autobiography' leans into geometric abstraction, it laid the structural groundwork for her later masterpieces that challenged the patriarchal boundaries of the art world.
