Minnie Evans and Nina Howell Starr, June 1972
Minnie Evans & Me NINA HOWELL STARR
Nina Howell Starr is well known for her close association with artist Minnie Evans, whom she represented from 1962 until 1984. Considered largely responsible for bringing Evans's work to the attention of the art world, Starr arranged for the artist's first New York exhibition in 1966. Starr spent many years photographing Minnie Evans and her work and recording their conversations. In 1975 she was the guest curator of "Minnie Evans," a major solo exhibition at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York. In this essay, illustrated with her photographs, Nina Howell Starr gives us a glimpse of a long and tender friendship between two extraordinary women.
