Sonia Delaunay, Prismes électriques; 1914.

 

Women artists come to the fore next year at Tate with shows devoted to Sonia Delaunay, Agnes Martin, Barbara Hepworth and Marlene Dumas announced today, 31 July.

 

The first retrospective in the UK dedicated to the French avant-garde artist Delaunay is due to open in the spring at Tate Modern (15 April-9 August 2015). Delaunay (1885-1979) co-produced with her husband Robert several large-scale mural paintings for the 1937 Paris International Exhibition, and is known for her vividly coloured textiles emblazoned with striking geometrics. The show is co-organised with the Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris (Paris-Musées).

Première grande rétrospective parisienne consacrée à Sonia Delaunay depuis 1967, l’exposition organisée par le Musée d’Art moderne de la Ville de Paris rassemble, aux côtés de trois reconstitutions exceptionnelles d’environnements, plus de 400 œuvres : peintures, décorations murales, gouaches, estampes, mode et textiles. Cette monographie qui suit l’évolution de l’artiste de l’aube du XXème siècle à la fin des années 1970, met en lumière l’importance de son activité dans les arts appliqués, sa place spécifique au sein des avant-gardes européennes, ainsi que son rôle majeur dans l’abstraction dont elle figure parmi les pionniers.
