A Live Conversation on the Life and Work of Michaelina Woutier (1614–1689)
Frieze magazine and the Kunsthistorisches Museum Vienna would like to invite you to Looking at the Overlooked: A Live Conversation on the Life and Work of Michaelina Woutier (1614–1689).
Jennifer Higgie, Editor-at-Large at frieze Magazine, interviews curator and art historian Gerlinde Gruber about the life and work of the great Baroque artist Michaelina Woutier, with a focus on her 1659 painting Bacchanal, which is in the collection of the Kunsthistorisches Museum. They will also discuss the reasons for women artists’ exclusion from the art-historical canon: Woutier is a case in point. Despite her fame during her lifetime – she was a professional artist who sold four paintings to Archduke Leopold Wilhelm of Austria – after her death her work was misattributed and her importance has only recently been recognised.
Jennifer Higgie is the Editor-at-Large of frieze Magazine, and presenter of the podcast Bow Down: Women in Art History.
