Richard Saltoun Gallery's 'Scandalous' Exhibition Spotlights Women Surrealists
The Richard Saltoun Gallery is showcasing 'Scandalous: Women in Surrealism,' an exhibition that celebrates the contributions of avant-garde female Surrealist artists who transformed the movement's visual and conceptual framework. This event aligns with the gallery's participation at TEFAF New York and prominently features significant pieces by Italian surrealist Manina (1918-2010). Known as a muse for Erwin Blumenfeld and praised by André Breton as 'pure poetry,' this marks Manina's first solo exhibition since her passing in 2010. The showcase presents a unique chance to revisit her innovative work, alongside pieces from other female Surrealists.
