1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 #32: Mary Gabriel is an American author and biographer whose books include&amp;nbsp;Love and Capital: Karl and Jenny Marx and the Birth of a Revolution, which was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize. She worked in Washington and London as a Reuters editor for nearly two decades and currently lives in Ireland. Her book Ninth Street&amp;nbsp;Women is&amp;nbsp;a deep exploration of the mid-20th century Abstract Expressionist in New York City.&amp;nbsp;Ninth Street Women&amp;nbsp;is a chronicle of not just one — but five American women artists: Lee Krasner (wife of Jackson Pollock), Elaine De Kooning (wife of Willem de Kooning), Grace Hartigan, Joan Mitchell and Helen Frankenthaler. I spoke with Mary Gabriel about her work habits and the era&amp;nbsp;when non-representational abstract painting came of age in the wake of world war, nuclear weapons and a changing America.
