SoHo 20 Gallery is a diptych painting by American artist Sylvia Sleigh containing portraits of the collective members of the New York art gallery SoHo 20 Gallery. It is oil on canvas with each panel measuring 72" X 96".[1] Sleigh also created a group portrait of the A.I.R. Gallery members.[2] The Brooklyn Rail stated that the paintings could be "read today like detailed history paintings that record the birth of the Feminist Art Movement".[3]
In 2019 the SoHo 20 Gallery group portrait was included in the exhibition "Women Defining Themselves, Original artist of the SOHO20" at the Rowan University Art Gallery in Glassboro, New Jersey.[4]
