Action, Gesture, Paint: Women Artists and Global Abstraction 1940-70 exhibition

In honour of Women’s History Month coming to an end, we wanted to share the ‘Action, Gesture, Paint: Women Artists and Global Abstraction 1940-70’ exhibition.

This exhibition showcases 81 unsung international female artists. Showcasing art created between 1940 and 1970 from all over the world, recognising these women’s overlooked contribution to the Abstract Expressionist movement.

Head over to the Whitechapel gallery this weekend to check out the works that inspired the likes of Pollock and Rothko.
