Viewing The Story of Art as it’s Still Being Written

If you haven’t ordered Katy Hessel’s new book, The Story of Art without Men, do so now. Published by Hutchinson Heinemann, it champions pioneering women artists from the past 500 years who have so often been excluded from history books.
To celebrate its landmark publication, Victoria Miro presents a major exhibition based on the book’s final chapter, Still Writing the Story of Art. Curated by Hessel, it brings together a selection of artists who define the contemporary moment through their innovative visual language and embrace of urgent themes such as rewriting lost pasts, exploring historical truths and decolonialising art history.

Works by such celebrated names as Lisa Brice, Chantal Joffe and Tracey Emin will hang alongside paintings by risings stars including Flora Yukhnovich and Jadé Fadojutimi.

From London to New York via Nigeria and Japan, this is the history of art as it’s never been told before. Go and then flood your feed with these much-deserving works.
