Exhibition at the Städtische Galerie Bietigheim-Bissingen
July 23 till October 9, 2011
After the great success of the “Power Up, Female Pop Art” exhibition in Vienna it is now in Germany, at the Städtische Galerie Bietigheim-Bissingen that a slightly reduced version of the first European exhibition on women in Pop Art is shown this summer.
Curated by Angela Stief the exhibition shows works by Evelyne Axell, Sister Corita, Christa Dichgans, Rosalyn Drexler, Jann Haworth, Dorothy Iannone, Kiki Kogelnik, Marisol and Niki de Saint Phalle. The show aims at the reinterpretation of an art movement that until today has primarily been associated with male protagonists. Plastic, loud colours, reduced forms, and graphic contours – the nine women artists’ works on display resemble those of their male colleagues in many respects. Whereas their works appeal to the taste of the masses, these artists, as pioneers of Feminism, have remained belligerent and critical.
Important works by Evelyne Axell, such as Ice Cream 1, Portrait Fragmenté, Valentine, Le mur du son, Les couchettes and others are on display in this show that will last until October 9, 2011. The catalogue of the exhibition (English and German editions available – 288 pages) is available at the Städtische Galerie.
