This session pertains to “WADDA | Women Art Dealers Digital Archive“ (wadda.info) an initiative that aims to document how photography has participated in the construction of the identity of women-run galleries, while supporting the formation of a network of promotion on which these women could rely in order to gain visibility. (WADDA is the subject of an article in the Art Newspaper of 1 March 2022: https://www.theartnewspaper.com/2022/03/01/women-art-dealers-digital-archives-modern-art)
The papers of this session focus on photographic material. By analyzing women gallerists’ portraits, reproductions in art catalogues and the photographs of exhibitions – images which support the art dealers’ experimental editorial choices – the session seeks to provide a better understanding of how these women have created new selling strategies and transnational networks.
