Talk + Networking at Richard Saltoun Gallery: 100% Women

About

This exhibition will commence a year’s programme in which the gallery will only present art by women artists.

The reality is that less than 30% of artists represented by major commercial galleries in London are women, with only 5% of galleries representing an equal number of male and female artists. In most aspects of the art market – from sales and auction results to solo exhibitions in major institutions – male artists continue to outnumber their female counterparts in the majority of activities that signify the development of an artist’s career.

The first show in the series presents the gallery’s first solo exhibition of British artist Rose English. As an integral figure in the development of performance art in Britain. the presentation will provide rich insights into this element of English’s practice, in addition to her explorations of other art forms, incorporating photography, painting and ceramics.
