Paintings and photography mark 100 years since women could vote
A NEW exhibition celebrating 100 years since women were first given the vote has opened at the Mercer Art Gallery in Harrogate. Picturing Women features a mix of historic and contemporary art, pioneering photography, ink drawings, paintings and sculpture by women artists from the gallery’s own Harrogate Collection.
Over the last 10 years the Mercer Art Gallery has built up its representation of women artists in its permanent collection, and many recent acquisitions are on show - including a significant early painting Touchstone, 1983 by Eileen Cooper, who was the first woman to become Keeper of the Royal Academy in 2010.
