Generations of women artists have been overlooked and sidelined despite their profound creative contributions. Many entered an art world that was underdeveloped and closed to women. In recent years, solo retrospectives for trailblazers like Sue Williamson and Esther Mhlangu have sparked overdue recognition, and auction records for Marlene Dumas have prompted institutions and collectors to reconsider older female artists’ practices, yet countless other female artists continue to work in the margins—unseen, undocumented, and undervalued.
