Add to basketThrough its paintings, sculptures and photographs drawn from the remarkable Levett Collection, FAMM is proud to tell the story of female creativity from Impressionism to the present day. Written by a range of female curators, academics and art historians, this superb book presents more than 200 spectacular artworks from FAMM and the wider Levett Collection. The publication is bookended by a lively introduction and an illustrated timeline that highlight significant events involving women artists and some of the most important stylistic and thematic currents in the visual arts since the mid-19th century. In the main part of the book, the featured works are divided into six themed sections that represent a compelling artistic journey: from visionary Impressionists such as Berthe Morisot and Mary Cassatt, and daring Surrealists such as Leonora Carrington, Leonor Fini and Dorothea Tanning; through bold figuration by Elaine de Kooning, Alice Neel, Jenny Saville and Sahara Longe, and powerful abstract works by Lee Krasner, Joan Mitchell, Helen Frankenthaler, Alma Thomas and Lalan. The final two sections, devoted to sculpture and contemporary art, include Barbara Hepworth, Louise Bourgeois, Sarah Lucas, Howardena Pindell, Tracey Emin, Marina Abramović and Stacey Gillian Abe, among many others. The author of each section contributes a concise overview essay as well as extended captions that provide an engaging commentary on each selected artwork and the artist behind its creation. An authoritative guide to an outstanding collection, this is a true celebration of women in art – whether revered innovators from the last 150 years or newly emerging stars.
Showcasing pieces from all corners of the globe over the past 150 years, the story of female creativity is told in all its artistic splendour...Offering a truly in-depth guide to a must-see collection for art enthusiasts and casual admirers alike. - Homes and Antiques
This new book encapsulates the collection's ethos: to celebrate art made by women from impressionists to the present day. - The Daily Telegraph
