I've just spotted that Christie's Paris will be hosting a Women in Art sale on 16th June 2021. Last week I posted news that Sotheby's would be holding a similar single-sex sale in May. I'm not sure which auction house was the first with this idea.
According to their website:
Women artists will showcase a curated selection of paintings, works on paper, books, manuscripts, prints, sculptures, jewelry, photos, and design by women artists spanning 500 years of art.
Christie’s specialists are currently welcoming consignments ranging from Old Masters to Post-War and Contemporary Art, Impressionists and Modern art. The sale will also comprise 20th-century design, along with 19th century paintings and Contemporary works of art. Our selection already includes works by Niki de Saint Phalle, George Sand, Dorothea Tanning, Ayako Rokkaku, Claude Cahun, and Berthe Morisot, among others.
