position

In her writings she for the first time outlined the position of a dematerialization of art, especially in conceptual art . Lippard belongs to the early avant-garde of feminist art . In the foreword to Valie Export's exhibition MAGNA. Feminism: Art and creativity , which was shown in Vienna in 1975 , writes Lucy Lippard: Of course art has no gender, but the artist has one. Therefore, separate women's rooms are necessary in order to allow the invisible - female - gender to be given the public view and the associated recognition.
