The Club was founded in Zagreb in 1927 as the first and only women’s art association in the first half of the 20th century in this part of Europe.
Through about two hundred works (mostly paintings, graphics, sculptures, works of applied art, and archival material) borrowed from more than twenty art institutions from Croatia and Slovenia and a dozen private collections, the exhibition will present the artistry of the first generations of academically trained women artists.
The members of the Women’s Art Club jointly decided to enter the art market and participate in the organization of guest exhibitions in Zagreb, such as the exhibition of the German sculptor and graphic artist Käthe Kollwitz in 1936 and the exhibition of Bulgarian fine artists in 1938.
The public can visit the exhibition until November 3rd 2024. The authors and curators of the exhibition are Dunja Nekić, Senior Curator and Head of the Museum of Arts and Crafts’s Collection of Old Photography, and Darija Alujević PhD, Expert Advisor in the Fine Arts Archive of the Cabinet for Architecture and Urbanism (Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts).
