Linda Stein Solo
"Feminism! Protection! Sexuality!", an exhibition of work by East Hampton's Linda Stein, will open Tuesday at the Anita Shapolsky Gallery in Manhattan, with a reception that evening from 6 to 8. The show will be on view through May 11.
An activist, educator, and writer, Ms. Stein came of age during the Women's Movement of the 1960s, and later became a second-wave feminist herself. The exhibition includes works from her "Blades" series, for which she dulled machete blades by hand and used them in sculptural works, and her "Knights of Protection" series, whose androgynous figures are emblems of defense.
American Expats
"Americans in Paris: Artists Working in Postwar France, 1946-1962," will open at New York University's Grey Art Museum, 18 Cooper Square, on Saturday.
Among the 70 exhibiting artists, those with past or present East End connections include Norman Bluhm, Claire Falkenstein, Al Held, Ellsworth Kelly, Joan Mitchell, Kimber Smith, and Jack Youngerman.
A reception will take place Friday from 5 to 8 p.m. The show will continue through July 20.

Bill Tansey Upstate
The Robin Rice Gallery will open "Diversity," a solo show of paintings by Bill Tansey, on Monday at its new location in Hudson, N.Y.
Mr. Tansey, who lives in Bridgehampton and has a studio in Southampton, will show textured still lifes, flowers, landscapes, and figures which, says the gallery, draw from the impasto canvases of Nicolas de Stael; the expressionism of Joan Mitchell, and the figurative paintings of Alex Katz.
The exhibition will continue through April 2.
