"Traditionally, the subjects of headline-grabbing, blockbuster art exhibitions have tended to be male, but 2026 is shaping up to be the year in which some of the biggest and most important London galleries are attempting to redress the gender balance."
"At the Royal Academy in London, nonagenarian Rose Wylie finally got the show she should have had years ago - and what a joy it was."
"Colombian artist Beatriz González, who died earlier this year at the age of 93, is being celebrated at the Barbican until May 10."
In 2026, London galleries are prioritizing female artists to correct historical gender imbalances in art exhibitions. The Royal Academy showcases Rose Wylie, a nonagenarian artist, while the Barbican honors Colombian artist Beatriz González, who passed away earlier this year. These exhibitions highlight the contributions of female artists and aim to elevate their visibility in the art scene, marking a significant shift in the representation of women in the art world.
