Rose ENGLISH British, b. 1950

Richard Saltoun Gallery presents an all-women group show bringing together ceramics by 11 contemporary artists, from pioneers of the medium to young artists who keep pushing it forward. The exhibition...

'Form, Feminisms, Femininities' is Rose ENGLISH's first solo exhibition with Richard Saltoun Gallery. The exhibition shines light on two moments from the early stages of the artist's career, beginning with her experimentation with emergent processes and materials as a young artist in the early 1970s and culminating with a focus on her 1983 performance 'Plato's Chair'.

From March 2019 to March 2020, Richard Saltoun Gallery dedicated 100% of its exhibition and art fair programme to women artists. Titled 100% Women, the initiative was implemented to address the gender inequality that persists in the art world and encourage wider industry action through debate, dialogue and collaboration. It is now a leader in its representation of female artists, from avant-garde pioneers of the 1960s and ‘70s to a younger generation of female artists working today. It continues to support female artists through extensive research, partnerships and solo presentations at the gallery and online.

WOMEN LOOK AT WOMEN, curated by Paolo Ugolini, inaugurates Richard Saltoun Gallery's new space on 41 Dover Street. The group exhibition explores feminine identity through the work of thirteen internationally renowned female artists, with each work on show reflecting a different aspect of the relationship women have with their own bodies and how they judge and respond to the physicality of other women.

TAKING MATTERS INTO OUR OWN HANDS features work by Rose ENGLISH, Rose FINN-KELCEY, Alexis HUNTER and Carloee SCHNEEMANN. Taking as its title and starting point a statement by the pioneering British feminist artist Jo SPENCE, the exhibition focuses on major performance art made by women artists in the UK during the 1970s.
