The auction house Kolonn helps to redress the art historical narrative’s long-standing imbalance by dedicating more than 120 lots to Women Artists & Designers.
The selection is varied and refreshing, offering just about everything one could wish for in terms of form and colour, primarily from the 20th century.
From Mollie Faustman’s studio comes a floral still life; Astri Bergman-Taube is represented by a bronze girl’s head, while Madeleine Pyk appears with The Three Wise Men in vibrant colours.
Hertha Hillfon’s face in black lustre glaze is captivating; the title of Siri Derkert’s mixed-media work is exactly what one hopes for in a title (you’ll have to look it up yourself); and isn’t Tyra Lundgren’s organic bowl the most wonderful of objects?
A warm welcome to a valuable curatorial effort. A warm welcome to Women Artists & Designers!
