Ten Women Who Painted the Unseen, Gathered in One Place

· 1 min read

For collectors drawn to work made at the edge of the visible, ARTnews has assembled a primer on ten women artists working across the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Each of them sought contact with what lies beyond the ordinary senses and set down what came back to them in their art. The result is a short guide, a reading list of names for anyone who wants to look more closely at this corner of the field.

With reporting from ARTnews.
