The Saatchi Gallery was founded in 1985 to provide a
platform to bring contemporary art
to as wide an audience as possible and make it accessible. Over the last five
years the Saatchi Gallery has hosted 15 out of the 20 most visited exhibitions
in London
The Gallery is
set to mark its 30th anniversary this year so the
London gallery wants to celebrate by making an all-female art exhibition. The
name of the exhibition is Champagne life and it's taken from one of the many
works of Julia Wachtel in which the
American artist puts a sky-blue image of
Minnie Mouse alongside a picture of
Kanye West and his wife, Kim Kardashian.
“There are two aspects to my
work: one is to considered to be landscape paintings, which are more
traditional, and the other is celebrity culture ''she said. “Both of those are taking the media world as
source material, rather than the actual virtual world of a real landscape or
person.”
The Champagne life exhibition opens on
January 13 and is focused on 14 emerging female artist like Stephanie Quayle,
Virgile Ittah, Sigrid Holmwood and others.
According to
recent studies in 2013 in the art galleries only 31% of artworks were made by a
women.
Another
all-female art show it' s happening at the Rubbel familly collection in Miami,
Florida called No Man's Land.
