100 Years of Women's Art at New York's Academy Mansion
The Academy Mansion, a landmark in New York established in 1920, is currently showcasing 'Femme F(r)iction,' an exhibition that highlights the work of 50 female artists delving into philosophical, scientific, and societal issues through diverse artistic mediums. Featured artists include Judy Chicago, Kara Walker, Lita Albuquerque, Tomma Abts, and Magdalena Abakanowicz. This exhibition, a joint effort between American gallery C1760 and Zuecca Projects, presents a retrospective of women's art from the 1930s to the present, spanning Europe, Africa, the U.S., and Asia. Alessandro Possati, the founder of Zuecca Projects, points out the significance of works by historical artists like Abakanowicz and Nevelson, as well as contemporary figures like Vasconcelos, whose latest pieces illustrate a generational evolution.
