'Flipping' in Mystic

''The Politics of a Glace (acrylic), by Lisa Lyman Adams, in the "Flipped '' show at the Mystic (Conn.) Museum of Art, through June 3.

"Flipped''  is  an exhibition of works from the museum's permanent collection focused on women artists. Erika Neenan, a curatorial assistant at the museum, said that the title of the exhibition reflects the under-representation of women artists in major permanent art collections in the United States, where women account only 3-5  percent of total holdings. So "Flipped'' flips the numbers so that male artists account for  only 4 percent of the work on display. Many of the museum's founders were women.
