Manchester sees the arrival of one of the city’s cultural highlights this year. Angels of Anarchy shows work by some of the world’s most radical women surrealists and offers a fitting theme to Manchester’s own radical past as the birthplace of the suffragette movement.
Angels of Anarchy (26th September 2009 – 10th January 2010) is the first major exhibition in Europe to focus on women artists’ crucial role in the Surrealist art movement.
150 beautiful, powerful, though-provoking and sometimes shocking works of art. 32 revolutionary artists from around the globe, including Frida Kahlo, Lee Miller and Meret Oppenheim.
The most ambitious exhibition ever mounted by the gallery with loans from MOMA New York, Tate, Centre Georges Pompidou, Museo De Arte Moderno Mexico, the Fine Arts Museum San Francisco, the Israel Museum in Jerusalem and many private collections.
Explore work by these artists and what made them radically different to their male counterparts, work that spoke of their experiences as women and as artists.
It is the only chance to catch this exhibition in the UK before it tours to one other European venue and with the fragility of many of the works it will be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see these artists all together in one exhibition.
The Angels are coming to Manchester. Don’t miss them.
