Abstraction in art is a novelty of the 20th century and a focal point of our collection. It was women artists who painted the first abstract pictures at the end of the 19th century, many years before women gained access to the academies. To this day, many of them are comparatively unknown and little represented, and unfortunately they are also in the minority in our collection. This exhibition is dedicated to the women artists who focus on abstraction since the 20th century.
