"Looking at Her" exhibition Women's Art Collection, Murray Edwards College, Huntingdon Road, Cambridge Tuesday 1st July 2.00-4.00 pm
Join us for a summer visit to the new exhibition and permanent collection at the Women's Art Collection, Murray Edwards College, Cambridge with curator Harriet Loffler. Founded in the early 1990s, the Women's Art Collection now holds one of the largest collections of work by women artists in the world, with more than 600 art works by over 300 artists. The works are displayed throughout the college and a programme of temporary exhibitions compliment the permanent collection. The current exhibition "Looking at Her" explores portraiture and how artists turn to the figurative, non-figurative and the fictitious in their depictions of people. Portraits of writers, poets and activists sit alongside speculative imaginings of interior worlds to explore women’s lives, for instance through domestic spaces and diary entries.
We are delighted that Harriet Loffler, Curator of the Women's Art Collection will be giving us a private tour of the permanent collection and the exhibition which she has curated. After the tour we will have special access to the Fellows Drawing Room for a cup of tea. Cost: £35 including tour and refreshments.
