More than 60 years ago, art collector and patron Peggy Guggenheim made history with the first exhibition of only women artists. "31 women" aimed to bring attention to the role of women in art, giving them a space where they could become the subject instead of the object, distancing themselves from the common stereotypes associated to women artists.
At the time it received mixed critics but now... The Mapfre Foundation retrieves the spirit of that exhibition with "31 women. An exhibition by Peggy Guggenheim", curated by Patricia Mayayo. We visited the exhibition and spoke with Curator of Fine Arts, Casilda Ybarra.
