The subject of the first episode of the podcast Great Women of Art is sculpture, a technique that has long been considered as one reserved for men. Women have ventured in it, measured on a monumental scale, and have even, for some, taken over public space. Niki de Saint Phalle, one of the best-known female artists of the 20th century, was a sculptor. She claimed herself to be one and her pride is to have imposed her women in the streets: her Nanas sculptures.

The podcast Great Women of Art gives a voice to women artists of the 20th century. They speak about their work, their lives, the world around them and their achievements. Let us go in search of their presence, their secrets. Let us rediscover the hidden history of women artists through their voices.
Great Women of Art is a podcast produced by AWARE: Archives of Women Artists, Research and Exhibitions, in collaboration with the Institut national de l’audiovisuel, with the support of Maison Veuve Clicquot and the Ministry of Culture’s Délégation à la transmission, aux territoires et à la démocratie culturelle.
