Abstract Expressionism
Artists Vanessa Jackson RA and Clare Price, along with curator Gwen Chanzit from the Denver Art Museum, discuss the important female figures of Abstract Expressionism.
Although their work has often been overlooked in favour of their male contemporaries, artists such as Lee Krasner, Joan Mitchell and Helen Frankenthaler were major players in the Abstract Expressionist movement. Gallerists Peggy Guggenheim and Betty Parsons also played an instrumental role in promoting Abstract Expressionism and establishing its position in the international art market. Alongside celebrating the women of the movement and their legacy, the discussion will explore the relationship between artists and the gendered practice of abstract painting.
This event will be chaired by Curator and Head of RA Schools Eliza Bonham Carter.
All ticket prices include one complimentary drink at a reception following the event.
