Wanda Czelkowska, Self Portrait, early 1970s |
Land of Lads, Land of Lashes: Rosemarie Castoro, Wanda Czelkowska, Lydia Okumura is at
Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac (Ely House, London) until 11 August 2018)
From Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac website:
Land of Lads, Land of Lashes presents, for the first time in the UK,
seminal sculptures and paintings of three female artists of 1960s and
1970s Minimal and Post-Minimal art who broke the artistic boundaries of
the period: Rosemarie Castoro introduced surreal and sexual connotations
to the cool, mathematical rigour of Minimalism; Lydia Okumura expanded
the tradition of the Brazilian geometric avant-garde with her
multi-dimensional abstract environments; and Wanda Czelkowska challenged
artistic traditions by fusing anthropomorphic sculpture with brutalist,
industrial structures. All three artists created an avant-garde inside
the avant-garde, transcending the idea of one style in favour of radical
experimentation. Guest curated by Anke Kempkes, a leading expert in the
field of female avant-garde art, this landmark London exhibition
spanning Ropac's entire gallery marks a further turning point at which
female artists pioneered new art movements and subverted the avant-garde
language of the time.
