The Museum of Lesbian Dreams is the first retrospective exhibition and publication showcasing three decades of Millie Wilson’s work (United States, b. 1948). An influential yet underrecognized artist and pedagogue who taught generations of artists at the California Institute of the Arts, Wilson has deftly examined feminism, queerness, and the historical erasure of such positions from institutions of art.
Originally organized by Krannert Art Museum at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, where it was on view from August 29, 2024, through March 1, 2025, the exhibition brings together major loans from the artist, private collections, museums, and galleries, including 15 works from The Luckman’s Permanent Collection.
