Maria Bartuszová is included in ‘Sochárky’ at East Slovak Gallery, Kosice. The exhibition presents a selection of female personalities of Czechoslovak sculpture, highlighting their individual and collective contributions to the history of fine arts in the region, something that is widely considered a distinctly male territory.
The exhibition includes work from Alžbeta Čereyová, Julie Horová-Kováčiková, Marie Bartoňková-Drábková, Dagmar Rosůlková, Věra Janoušková, Eugénia Lugsová, Eva Kmentová, Vlasta Prachatická and Klára Pataki, amongst others, and is accompanied by a catalogue focusing on overlooked female sculptors, with extra emphasis placed on those who have worked in Slovakia.
