En savoir plus

Mouvement dominant des scènes artistiques de New York et de San Francisco au milieu du XXe siècle, l'expressionnisme
abstrait est célébré comme étant le premier développement majeur de l'art américain à acquérir un statut international.

Le mouvement est synonyme du travail de Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko et Willem de Kooning, mais appartenant également 
à cette génération qui a changé le cours de l'art moderne, il y avait de nombreuses artistes féminines ;
ce n'est que ces dernières années que leurs contributions ont commencé à recevoir la reconnaissance qu'elles méritent.

Les femmes remarquables présentées dans ce nouveau livre passionnant – parmi lesquelles Claire Falkenstein, 
Perle Fine, Grace Hartigan, Lee Krasner et Joan Mitchell – ont étudié dans les mêmes écoles d'art que les hommes,
ont exposé dans les mêmes galeries et faisaient partie de la même scène sociale.
Pourtant, à une époque qui valorisait
la conformité, elles restaient largement dans l'ombre de leurs homologues masculins.
Cette magnifique publication présente les œuvres de la Collection Levett, une collection privée inégalée d'art de 
femmes expressionnistes abstraites.

The dominant movement of the New York and San Francisco art scenes of the mid-20th century, Abstract Expressionism is celebrated as being the first major development in American art to gain international status. The movement is synonymous with the work of Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko and Willem de Kooning, but also belonging to this generation who changed the course of modern art were numerous female artists; only in recent years have their contributions begun to receive the recognition they deserve. The remarkable women featured in this exciting new book – among them Claire Falkenstein, Perle Fine, Grace Hartigan, Lee Krasner and Joan Mitchell – studied at the same art schools as the men, exhibited at the same galleries and were part of the same social scene. Yet, in an era that valued conformity, they remained largely in the shadow of their male counterparts. This magnificent publication presents the works of the Levett Collection, an unparalleled private collection of art by women Abstract Expressionists. Richly illustrated essays by Ellen G. Landau and Joan M. Marter consider, respectively, the vital role of women in the development of Abstract Expressionism and the work of women sculptors of the movement. Full of exuberant, explosive colour and densely layered expression, the main section of the book is devoted to more than 50 paintings, collages and sculptures, all accompanied by pertinent quotes from the women about their artistic practice and concerns. An illustrated timeline and 35 artist biographies provide further insight, making this volume an essential addition to the study of Abstract Expressionist women, innovators whose time in the spotlight has finally come.

 A stunning selection of Abstract Expressionist works by women artists, including Elaine de Kooning, Dorothy Dehner, Helen Frankenthaler, Grace Hartigan, Lee Krasner, Joan Mitchell, Pat Passlof and Alma Thomas

With incisive essays by leading experts Ellen G. Landau and Joan M. Marter on the contributions of women to this major movement in American art
Artworks are accompanied by quotes from the artists that illuminate their inspirations, techniques and experiences
Published to coincide with an exhibition opening at the Whitechapel Gallery, London, in February 2023, then travelling to France and Germany
