Woman – the Feminist Avant-Garde of the 1970s – works from SAMMLUNG VERBUND Vienna starts on 15 June. This is a big exhibition about one of the most important phenomena in the history of 1970s art: women stepping up and claiming their space and their own selfdetermined image. The exhibition mainly consists of photography which at the time was a new and slightly frowned upon form of art, and though decades have passed, the pictures are as important now as they were then. “The pieces are snapshots of a time that still feels relevant today,” says director Hanne Beate Ueland.
