My first introduction to the work of Peter Miller, “the Forgotten Woman of American Modernism,” at Gratz Gallery’s booth at The Philadelphia Show. Peter Miller (1913–1996) was born Henrietta Meyers, and her last name changed when she married Earle Miller, a fellow artist. She changed her first name to Peter when she began showing her work in exhibitions in New York in the 1940s in an effort to avoid the ingrained sexism of the day.
