73 Women Masters
Curated by Rocío de la Villa, the exhibition revolves around concepts such as sisterhood and emancipation and is the museum's main attraction this autumn. A milestone in the history of art in Spain, both for the relevance of the names included, such as Artemisia Gentileschi, Sonia Delaunay, Angelica Kauffmann, Mary Cassatt and Maruja Mallo, and for its feminist approach. 73 women artists whose talent managed to overcome prejudice, discrimination and inequality.
