The exhibition 'Women Artists of the Avant-garde' presents these eight artists and their wide-ranging artistic works as a unified totality for the first time. The aim is to present the similarities, differences and relationships in the life and work of these artists and to widen the perspective on the historical Avant-garde in the Europe of the 1920s and 1930, to shed light on new facets and to show how this group of artists made crucial contributions to the aesthetic innovations that took place in those years in cities like Berlin, Zürich and Paris in particular.
