WHERE ARE THE WOMEN?
Did you know that of the nearly 60,000 works preserved at the Palais des Beaux-Arts, only 135 are attributed to women artists and barely a dozen are exhibited? Conceived as a survey, the exhibition «Where are the women?» is dedicated to works created by women artists who have not had the opportunity to be exhibited and treated at their fair value until then. Composed of a hundred works, the course will retrace the varied trajectories of these creators, whose work covers a period from the 17th century to the present day. The choice to highlight paintings, sculptures or drawings made by women is part of a more global approach to grasp the general problem of their invisibilization in the arts. Thus, at the end of the exhibition, some of the works of women artists will enrich the permanent journey.
