| Other | Especially for career researchers, this symposium invites responses to the question: What does it mean to study the work of women artists at this time? Fifty years ago, art historian Linda Nochlin’s provocation, ‘Why have there been no great female artists?’ (1971), heralded an intervention into traditional, male-dominated art history. In the time since, many important exhibitions, books, articles, and research projects have sought to shift women from the margins to the centre of art discourse. One key challenge for researchers and curators of women artists within this context has been the risk of further marginalising women artists by approaching them as a unitary category defined by their gender. However, women artists remain a vital category for study and engagement due to the historical under-representation of their work in collections and the influence of the art market. Today new approaches to studying and presenting women artists’ careers and legacies that engage with these tensions in innovative ways is a significant step towards better understanding their work and creating change. |
