A major retrospective opened at Gallery St. Etienne.
On September 7, 1955, in honor of her ninety-fifth birthday, Gallery St. Etienne in New York unveiled a major retrospective exhibition of Grandma Moses's work. This event not only celebrated her long and prolific career as an artist but also underscored her influence in the folk art movement. The retrospective was a milestone that reaffirmed her artistic achievements and continued to draw significant public and critical attention to her depictions of rural Americana.
