Aargauer Kunsthaus. A Woman Is A Woman Is A Woman …

Devoted to the female artists in the collection, this exhibition, curated by the cultural critic Elisabeth Bronfen, offers an opportunity to revisit the art­ historical canon. The exhibition sheds light on the relationship between visual art and sexual difference in modern and post­modern art.

Exposing points of connection be­tween the generations, this show renders visible the impact of classic modernism on late twentieth century female artists. These works from the 1970s to the 1990s, in turn, also draw into focus the feminist legacy  of the collection of the Aargauer Kunsthaus.
