Originally, Peggy Guggenheim organised the Exhibition by 31 Women in New York in 1943 to highlight the work of women artists that had often been dismissed by the patriarchal mindset of the time.
Similarly, today 31 Women brings together works by established female creators and emerging talents, many of whom were linked to Surrealism and abstract art.
The works presented reflect the challenges of being a woman, expressed through artistic language and reinterpreted the contributions of surrealism and abstract expressionism to highlight the patriarchal precepts upon which such movements were based.
