The original show was a pioneer in the United States for being dedicated exclusively to women artists. The book documents the project of collector Jenna Segal, who, following in Guggenheim’s footsteps, has acquired works by the same artists to reclaim their talent. Through a careful selection of holdings, the publication offers an updated look at a 20th-century art landmark and the role of women in the avant-garde.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1943, patron Peggy Guggenheim, advised by Max Ernst and Marcel Duchamp, organized an exhibition that challenged the artistic canon of the time: displaying only works created by women. Under the title \u003cem\u003eExhibition by 31 Women\u003c\/em\u003e, the show became a revolutionary act within the New York scene. Decades later, producer and collector Jenna Segal revived this pioneering spirit, and since 2020, has been acquiring pieces by the same artists who participated in that exhibition. This book, presented by Fundación MAPFRE, collects a selection and reinterpretation of those holdings, connecting the avant-garde past with the present to reclaim the legacy of these creators.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eHistorical reclamation of the role of women in 20th-century avant-garde art.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eAnalysis of the 1943 exhibition as a pioneering milestone in the visibility of female artists.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eCollecting as a tool for memory and cultural activism.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eDialogue between the artistic production of the 1940s and its contemporary reinterpretation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is aimed at lovers of modern and contemporary art, art historians, students, and professionals in the cultural sector.
