"This show was based on two all-women exhibitions organized by Peggy Guggenheim at Art of This Century, her gallery in New York: Exhibition by 31 Women (1943) and The Women (1945). Bringing together the art that was presented in those two shows, the curatorial aim was to offer an insight into the achievements of female artists, emphasizing their role in modern avant-garde. Art of this Century. The Women posited Peggy Guggenheim as a crucial figure in twentieth-century art not only because she supported the burgeoning New York School but because her exhibitions targeted crucial issues that are still at stake today in contemporary culture."—from Peggy Guggenheim Collection website
