Phillips X is pleased to announce, The Virtues of Rebellion, an exhibition which explores the creative output of women Surrealists from the mid-20th century and the artists working today that mine this rich legacy. Coinciding with the marquee 20th Century and Contemporary auctions across all three major houses in New York, the artworks for sale and loan will be displayed in our 432 Park Ave galleries from 21 October – 22 November.

Seeking to bridge the gap between dream and reality, past and present, Surrealist artists such as Leonora Carrington, Remedios Varo, Dorothea Tanning, Kay Sage, and Leonor Fini employed a range of visual approaches that united in visions of fantastical worlds deeply rooted in historical and spiritual significance. Today, a new generation of painters including Emily Mae Smith, Julie Curtiss and Louise Bonnet, incorporate a similar surrealist lexicon into their art-making. This exhibition introduces lesser-known historical and contemporary artists, spanning the mediums of painting, sculpture, and photography.
