Galerie Lelong Group Exhibition Explores Bodily Autonomy Through Feminine Forms

Galerie Lelong in New York is currently featuring an exhibition titled "For it is our battle," which delves into how the female body is portrayed by a varied group of women artists across different generations. The show presents a mix of artworks that not only honor feminine shapes but also challenge societal expectations and promote political activism, all tied to the fight for bodily rights. A standout work is Nancy Spero's "This Womb..." from 1985, which is being shown less frequently and celebrates her activism as she marks her 100th birthday. Historical pieces by Yoko Ono, Martha Rosler, and Spero are displayed alongside modern works by artists like Petah Coyne and Kathy Grove.
