The Ludwig Museum, presents for the first time a selection of works from its collection made exclusively by women. The first section of the two-part exhibition focuses primarily on women’s roles and women’s (self-)representation in art, while the second section presents the genres and themes chosen by women, as well as their artistic achievements and accomplishments over the past fifty years.
Women’s social situation today, the expectations placed on them, the means of education and discipline, the pressures of the majority society, body image and female sexuality are the subject of the sensual, powerful works by Eva Kotátková, LA Raeven, KOJA and Ilona Németh. In a series of interviews conducted in Budapest, Jeanne van Heeswijk interviewed women representing various feminine qualities about their professions, revealing the figure of the autonomous and successful woman of today, who is also confronted with many obstacles.
L.A. Raeven's video installation (double projection) 'Nature's Choice' is part of the Ludwig Museum collection.
Women's Quota 01 from 18th of October, 2024 until 12th January, 2025
