Beyond Form: Lines of Abstraction, 1950 - 1970 Group exhibition featuring Rosemarie Castoro at Turner Contemporary in Margate, Kent, UK

3 February—6 May 2024
Turner Contemporary in Margate, Kent, UK

 Beyond Form: Lines of Abstraction, 1950 - 1970 is a new exhibition which connects the work of over 50 women from across the globe through a shared language of radical abstraction.

The exhibition presents abstraction as a radical global language shared by women artists in the twenty years following World War II. Guest curated by Dr Flavia Frigeri, the exhibition will bring together the works of more than 50 artists to examine how, through abstract forms, materials and modes, women pushed the boundaries of artmaking while tackling seismic cultural, social and political shifts. Comprising over 80 artworks, predominantly sculpture, the exhibition will trace how the language of abstraction developed on a global scale.

Artists featured in the exhibit include Rosemarie Castoro, Carla Accardi; Novera Ahmed; Ruth Asawa; Maria Bartuszová; Lynda Benglis; Louise Bourgeois; Maria Theresa Chojnacka; Lygia Clark; Saloua Raouda Choucair; Sue Fuller; Eva Hesse; Marisa Merz; Yuko Nasaka; Louise Nevelson; Mona Saudi; Lenore Tawney; Hedda Sterne; Hannah Wilke, and more.
