Greta Schödl Italian - Austrian, b. 1929

Opening: Thursday, 7 November | 6-8pm EN: Richard Saltoun Gallery presents Greta Schödl: 70 Years of Work, dedicated to the pioneering Austria-born, Bologna-based artist, in anticipation of her solo exhibition...

From March 2019 to March 2020, Richard Saltoun Gallery dedicated 100% of its exhibition and art fair programme to women artists. Titled 100% Women, the initiative was implemented to address the gender inequality that persists in the art world and encourage wider industry action through debate, dialogue and collaboration. It is now a leader in its representation of female artists, from avant-garde pioneers of the 1960s and ‘70s to a younger generation of female artists working today. It continues to support female artists through extensive research, partnerships and solo presentations at the gallery and online.

The joint exhibition 'Vocalizing' focuses on the written word used, with very different outcomes, by artists Tomaso BINGA and Greta SCHÖDL. The exhibition has been curated by Paola Ugolini and features work from the beginning of their careers dating from the 1970s.
