Humans have been making art since time began. Whether to communicate, commemorate or celebrate, making art is something that humans often feel compelled to do, and enjoying art gives many of us pleasure.
Although most the of 'Great Artists' many of us can point to are male, women have played an important - if overlooked and undervalued - role in the creation of art as artists, muses and patrons. From Frida Kahlo and Georgia O'Keeffe, to Marina Abramović and Marlene Dumas, to the incredible weavers, potters and quilters across the world, women have always been making beautiful art and blazing their own trails, if you just look a little harder.
In this Garden Talk, Katy Hessel, a brilliant art historian and curator will be explaining why women were marginalised in the art world and the impact women have made to the development of the field. She will also share thoughts on the greatest (female) artists of all time and will shine a light on little-known, but exceptional, female talent. Have your eyes opened and your sense of history overturned as we consider the question: where are all the women in art?
