no solid info which works were exhibited when so its 1930s-1980s all the way except for a couple. hey, at least it is merely 50 year spread.
I used to work at the gallery and we had a showcase of local centennial artist who only stopped working during WW2 for a couple of years - and the rest of the body of work was undated and there was stuff from 1910s, 1930s, 1950s, 1970s, 1990s and 2000s all at once and we had to investigate by the peripherals to pin down the approximate date of the painting because the dude didn't cared and whenever we asked he would say "well, it's an old one... or so it seems... i don't really care, it's not falling apart" and then he would bring in a new one.

I can’t find a year for this. Apparently, she has a lot of “Untitled” works 1930-1980.
plight of undated body of work
surely someone must know when it was first made public
