A Gaze at Women Artists in France
Curated by AWARE: Archives of Women Artists, Research and Exhibitions, this year’s event presents a critical and subjective overview of the work of women artists in France, from the post-war period to the present day, with 25 projects selected from amongst the exhibits of participating galleries. This selection is divided into four themes: Abstraction, the Feminist Avant-Garde, Image, and Theatricality. AWARE was founded in 2014 by art historian Camille Morineau, and aims to produce, index and distribute information about 20th century women artists.
Southern Stars: An Exploration of Latin American Art
Art historian and independent exhibition curator Valentina Locatelli will be in charge of a focus on Latin America, which highlights the specific identity and diversity of Latin American art from the 1960s to the present day with a selection of galleries and artists, and special additional projects such as the presentation of a private collection and conferences at the Maison de l’Amérique latine to highlight the creative effervescence that reigns on the continent.
Art Paris runs from 4 – 7 April at Grand Palais, Paris, France. For further information, visit the fair’s website here.
