Modern women is a landmark exhibition that brings together the visionary work of twenty pioneering artists whose creative practices challenged the status quo, redefined aesthetic boundaries, and expanded the visual language of modern art. Spanning multiple decades and geographies across Europe and the Americas, this show highlights the singular contributions of women who, despite working in male-dominated contexts, carved out space for independent expression and critical innovation.

The exhibition traces a wide array of movements and approaches—including Surrealism, abstraction, and non-objectivity—through the lens of these women’s diverse and often radical perspectives. Far from adhering passively to dominant artistic conventions, the featured artists frequently navigated and subverted them, integrating elements such as mythology, mysticism, feminism, and deeply personal iconographies into their visual vocabularies. Their work reveals a profound engagement with both the inner self and the political structures of their time, resulting in practices that are at once intimate and transformative.

At a moment when institutions and scholars are increasingly reassessing the art historical canon, Modern women offers a vital and timely reconsideration of artists whose legacies have too often been marginalized or overlooked. This exhibition not only honors their enduring impact but also celebrates the radical independence, resilience, and innovation that shaped their contributions to modern art. Through this lens, the show invites viewers to reimagine the narrative of modernism as one that is more inclusive, multifaceted, and reflective of the full spectrum of creative voices.
