Modesty, quietude and humility are rarely words associated with history's greatest painters. Join us as we take a look at the life and work of Lois Dodd who has dedicated more than 70 years to further honing of her practised eye.

We unravel the remarkable journey and achievements of Dodd, a pioneering woman artist who originated from the downtown New York scene of the 1950s, when bohemian life there was vibrant and new and whose work continues to captivate audiences at the age of 96. From her early days at Cooper Union to co-founding the groundbreaking Tanager Gallery in 1952 to summers spent luxuriating in the nature of Coastal Maine, Lois has been a central figure in the New York and North Eastern art community for 70 years. Our art expert, Nicholas Robinson, takes us on a fascinating tour of the Tenth Street scene and creative energy that shaped her career, alongside contemporaries like Alex Katz, Philip Pearlstein, and Tom Wesselmann.

Dodd's story is more than just a timeline of achievements; find out what makes her unshowy work compelling and understand her wider impact on the art world and market of today. Despite her undeniable talent and contributions, her works remain affordably priced compared to her male counterparts. In this episode, we celebrate Lois Dodd's singular focus and achievement, her enduring influence and provide insights into appreciating and acquiring her art with a critical and discerning eye.
