Twenty years after the artist Pacita Abad’s death, in 2004, of cancer, at 58, her astonishing achievements are finally reaching a wide audience. A rip-roaring retrospective began at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis in 2023 and ended its travels at the Art Gallery of Ontario in Toronto earlier this year, winning acclaim all along the way.
