Her essay was both a clarion call for a new generation of women and a signal to change the institutions that shape the understanding of art.
Nochlin was not writing from the perspective of an artist, frustrated at the lack of recognition, nor was she simply claiming that past women geniuses had seen their work relegated to the attic.

.- When in 1961 Baron Hans Heinrich Thyssen‐Bornemisza acquired Young Couple by Emil Nolde he initiated a change of direction in the Thyssen familys collecting activities. While his father Henrich Thyssen had assembled a remarkable collection of Old Masters during the interwar period, between the 1960s and 1990s Hans Heinrich would be extremely active as a collector of the principal 20th‐century art movements, among which German Expressionism would occupy a pre‐eminent place.
In 1993 the Spanish State acquired most of the Thyssen collection and the Museo Nacional Thyssen‐Bornemisza thus came to house a significant representation of German Expressionism, a movement barely represented in Spanish collections. For the first time in decades the present exhibition, German Exp
