1943年，佩姬·古根漢(Peggy Guggenheim)在其紐約畫廊舉辦以31位女性藝術家為主題的展覽「31 Women」，是為首批推動女性藝術家的先鋒展覽之一，更是一個歷史突破。現在，10號贊善里畫廊舉辦31位香港女性藝術家的群展。這次展覽由Caroline Ha Thuc策展，在5月6日至8月20日與香港觀眾見面。
31 Women Exhibition was a 1943 exhibition organized by Peggy Guggenheim in her new gallery, Art of this Century, in New York City. One of the first exhibitions dedicated to the works of women, the show was a breakthrough. Now, 10 Chancery Lane Gallery is proud to present 31 Women Artists – Hong Kong, curated by Caroline Ha Thuc.

Why it matters:
「31 Women Artists Hong Kong」並非一個關於女性主義的展覽，因為在一個理想的環境裡，我們不需要只有女性的展覽。但在今日情境下，承認女性藝術家在香港的藝術實踐，以及展示她們作品的非凡生命力具有獨特意義。此次展覽融合了跨背景、年齡和實踐的31位藝術家，目的是彰顯女性作為獨立個體的完整、忠於自我的權利。
31 Women Artists – Hong Kong Exhibition is not intended to be a feminist exhibition: ideally, there would be no need for all-women exhibitions, yet it seems meaningful today to acknowledge the practice of women Hong Kong artists and to show the extraordinary vitality of their works. Mixing different generations of artists working in diverse contexts and engaged in various practices, this 2022 exhibition aims above all at celebrating the right to be truly oneself.

佩姬·古根漢是一位美國藝術收藏家、波希米亞社會名流，出生在紐約市富裕的古根漢家，她是本傑明·古根漢（1912年死於鐵達尼號沉沒事故）的女兒，她也是所羅門·羅伯特·古根漢的侄女，後來建立所羅門·古根漢基金會。1938年至1946年間，佩吉·古根漢在歐洲和美國收集許多藝術品。她在1949年展出收藏品，並在1949年定居在威尼斯。佩姬·古根漢美術館位於意大利威尼斯大運河。
Marguerite “Peggy” Guggenheim was an American art collector, bohemian and socialite. Born to the wealthy New York City Guggenheim family, she was the daughter of Benjamin Guggenheim, who went down with the Titanic in 1912, and the niece of Solomon R. Guggenheim, who established the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation. Guggenheim collected art in Europe and America primarily between 1938 and 1946. She exhibited this collection as she built it; in 1949, she settled in Venice, where she lived and exhibited her collection for the rest of her life.
