Paula Rego Retrospective Announced At Tate For Summer / /
This Summer sees Tate Britain open the largest and most comprehensive retrospective of the work of Paula Rego. Born in Portugal in 1935 during the authoritarian dictatorship of António de Oliveira Salazar to anti-fascist parents, her work is highly personal and politicised. Rego is an uncompromising artist of extraordinary imaginative power who redefined figurative art and revolutionised how women are represented.

It will span Rego’s early work from the 1950s to her richly layered, staged scenes in the 2000s.

But the price, and the trillion-dollar fashion industry (with its continually debated labor practices), are not the point of “Made It: The Women Who Revolutionized Fashion,” open through March 14. Rather, the show highlights a 250-year history of primarily Western women’s apparel through 79 female designers “who have worked to shape societal norms and shift cultural perspectives,” according to museum director and CEO Brian Kennedy. These pioneers range from seventeenth-century European seamstresses, who fought long-established male tailors to create their own guilds, to Becca McCharen-Tran, founder of the contemporary Chromat, producer of experimental and all-body, gender-binary, inclusive swim- and sportswear. (Check out #ChromatBABES.) The 107 ensembles on display include those from the museum’s collection and that of Kunstmuseum Den Haag, in the Netherlands (where the show originated in 2018 as “Femme Fatales: Strong Women in Fashion”).
