Galerie von Vertes is proud to present
FEMALE RADIANCE that centres around the perception and depiction of women in the 20
th and 21
st century. Dating from 1927 to 2001,
FEMALE RADIANCE offers a selection of abstract and figurative sculptures, works on paper, and canvas. Created by women and men,
FEMALE RADIANCE aims to provide food for thought as to how women saw themselves and how they were seen and perceived through the eyes of society.
From the earliest fertility statues to contemporary art, the depiction of women in the visual arts has evolved from religious, mythological, and erotic scenes to independent portrayals of and by women. Their contribution and roles as muses, collectors, artists, patrons, critics, and historians are still being re-established, inspiring change, and reshaping our cultural attitudes. Female artists like
Gabriele Münter and
Yayoi Kusama, but also men like
Willem de Kooning,
Tom Wesselmann, and
Andy Warhol, shook up the visual arts with their visionary, bold, and confronting creations of women transforming gender stereotypes in the arts.
