Since 2020, nine editions of 11 Women of Spirit have brought visibility to the work of nearly one hundred artists, in an acknowledgment that art making is a life-long commitment. What these exhibitions have accomplished is creating a community across generations, by allowing for a strong network of support to develop, these exhibitions have become a springboard for many women artists. 100 Women of Spirit is the celebration of the coherence between a gallerist, her vision, and the artists she chooses to support. It is only fair that this exhibition be dedicated to Joan Mitchell, a woman of spirit ‘par excellence’ who supported other women artists and who is such a central presence in the Zürcher gallery. As we look to the future to 100 Women of Spirit+, we acknowledge the longevity of women’s art practice, their dedication to their art and their resilience.
