Furio Rinaldi, curator of drawings and prints for Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, indicated that Tamara de Lempicka’s delayed retrospective exemplifies double standards that historically exclude women from art history.
Rinaldi noted, "The fact that she's collected by celebrities was one of the things used to reduce her to some sort of marginal phenomenon of tastes," highlighting the perceived sexism surrounding her recognition.
Tamara de Lempicka's portraits defined Art Deco and her cultural impact surged in the 1970s; this retrospective comes at a time when female artists are finally receiving overdue recognition.
Madonna’s introductions of Lempicka's works through music videos and her tours played a significant role in reviving interest in the artist, bridging Art Deco's legacy with contemporary pop culture.
