Palazzo Strozzi and Collezione Maramotti present Time for Women!, an exhibition celebrating the twentieth anniversary of the Max Mara Art Prize for Women – one of the most important awards dedicated to supporting female artists – and the long-standing collaboration between Max Mara, Whitechapel Gallery, and Collezione Maramotti, showcasing the works of the nine prize winners from 2005 to the present day: Margaret Salmon (1975, New York), Hannah Rickards (1979, UK), Andrea Büttner (1972, Germany), Laure Prouvost (1978, France), Corin Sworn (1975, UK), Emma Hart (1974, UK), Helen Cammock (1970, UK), Emma Talbot (1969, UK), Dominique White (1993, UK).

Born from the collaboration between Max Mara, Whitechapel Gallery, and Collezione Maramotti, the Max Mara Art Prize for Women is a biennial award aimed at female artists, granting a six-month residency in Italy to develop a new project, which is then exhibited at the Whitechapel Gallery in London and Collezione Maramotti in Reggio Emilia.

The exhibition in Florence, at the Strozzina spaces in Palazzo Strozzi, pays tribute to two decades of female artistic innovation and creativity by presenting, for the first time all together, the projects conceived by the nine winning artists following their extended residency in Italy, a central part of the prize. Painting, video, sculpture, and installations alternate in a reflection on themes such as identity, memory, body, society, and politics.

Time for Women! Empowering Visions in 20 Years of the Max Mara Art Prize for Women is promoted and organized by Fondazione Palazzo Strozzi and Collezione Maramotti. Main Sponsor: Max Mara.
Special thanks to Whitechapel Gallery.
