'Women in Abstraction' (Elles font Abstraction) featuring 110 female artists, opens at Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris

Centre Pompidou in Paris joins other museums in France that are now open to visitors under strict supervision of booking and sanitary measures including wearing face masks


Scheduled to run until August 23, 2021 at the reopened Centre Pompidou in Paris, the exhibition offers a new take on the history of abstraction, from its origins to the 1980s, highlighting the female artists as burgeoning creators of modernism in their own right, after being largely ignored by art historians.

Revisiting the history of Abstraction

Chief curator Christine Macel and Karolina Lewandowska, curator for photography at Centre Pompidou, point out the decisive turning points that marked the history of Abstraction and question its aesthetic canons, going beyond the idea of a history of art conceived as a succession of purely pioneering practices.

The show begins with an unprecedented foray into the 19th century with the rediscovery of Georgiana Houghton’s work from the 1860s. Houghton (1814 -1884) pioneered drawing abstract works and complex watercolour paintings, which she declared to be spirit drawings guided by the presence of spirits, some of whom she believed were Renaissance artists and higher angelic beings. She was also a spiritualist medium.

Spotlights

The show then directs the spotlight, using mini-monographs, on key figures who have been neglected in Europe or deprived of recognition. The focus turns on the specific educational, social and institutional contexts that either surrounded and encouraged, or hindered the recognition of these women. Many of these women artists deliberately did not aspire to recognition. Some, like Sonia Delaunay-Terk adopted a non-gendered attitude and did not restrict her work to paintings, but widened her scope to fashion, theatre costumes and designs in general, while others like Judy Chicago, laid claim to a feminine art.

This female version of history naturally challenges the limitation of the study of abstraction to painting alone excluding those women who did not fit into the specific modernist approach. These women used spiritualist, ornamental or performative dimensions of abstraction in their approach to art. The perspective of these women also includes a global aspect that includes the modernist approach of those from Latin America, the Middle East and Asia, not to forget African-American artists whose multiple voices only emerged from the early 1970s.
