For Photo London Amar Gallery will present the revolutionary work of Dora Maar, Picasso's muse and lover, alongside Stephen Shames, the official photographer for the Black Panther party. At a time where the rights of women and those of colour are facing active threat, this presentation aims to bring to the forefront the powerful message of revolution, equality and justice.
Amar Gallery was opened in January 2017 to show world-class post-war and contemporary art. We champion a number of historically overlooked and important female, LGBT+ and minority artists. We show these artists because we believe in their work. Nothing matters more than the art but the reality is many of these fine artists were overlooked because of their gender, sex or race. We hope to help correct this imbalance and give these artists the spotlight they deserve.
