About the book:
Women Art Dealers brings together fascinating case studies of galleries run by women
between the 1940s and 1980s. It marks a departure from other work in the field of art
markets, challenging male-dominated histories by analyzing the work of female dealers
who anticipated the global model, worked to promote art across continents, and thus
developed an international art market.Part 1 focuses on the women gallerists behind the
promotion of modern art after World War II who participated in important research about
the neo-Avant-Garde. Part 2 examines the contributions by women art dealers toward the
birth of new markets – through establishing the reputation of artistic genres, such as video
art and photography, and working at the forefront of advancing contemporary art. Finally,
Part 3 analyzes case studies from the southern European art scene, paying fresh attention
to several under-researched markets in the region like Italy and Portugal.Each chapter
study provides a historiographic profile of the gallery under discussion and critical analysis
is supported with a wide range of visual material including portraits of the women art
dealers, photographs of the exhibitions they managed, and printed documentation like
catalogues, invitations, and posters that were often used to support artists on display in
experimental ways.
