Iconic art works are represented, but not by the means of photography (specific to documentation and art work reproduction) but by painting, like the copies made after art masters, only this time the copies are made after women artists. An archive with a selection of works by women artists from modern and contemporary art history is made, with the aim to show a personal Top 10. Each different selection of ten does not represent a permanent and definitive choice. Other works are added later in this archive of sketches, as it is a project in progress. At the time when is presented in an exhibition the selection reflects the choice of that specific moment. The title takes over the name of a literary text by artist Claude Cahun entitled Héroïnes (published in 1925), a series of monologues of key female figures in literature and history. The subtitles refer to the artistic endeavor made by Sherrie Levine, who is re-photographing famous works from the history of photography. |
