The Story of Art Without Men with Katy Hessel (Virtual Event)

How many women artists do you know? Who makes art history? Did women even work as artists before the twentieth century? And what is the Baroque anyway?

On Tuesday, September 13 @ 7pm join us for an online event with art historian, curator and author Katy Hessel, to discuss her latest book, The Story of Art Without Men.

Discover the glittering Sofonisba Anguissola of the Renaissance, the radical work of Harriet Powers in the nineteenth-century USA and the artist who really invented the Readymade. Explore the Dutch Golden Age, the astonishing work of post-War artists in Latin America and the women artists defining art in the 2020s. Have your sense of art history overturned, and your eyes opened to many art forms often overlooked or dismissed. From the Cornish coast to Manhattan, Nigeria to Japan, this is the story of art for our times – one with women at its heart, brought together for the first time by the creator of @thegreatwomenartists.

Event free to anyone who pre-orders or buys a copy of the book from us (click here) or instore! A link to the event will be sent on the day.
