Art for Women Today

c/o Galleri Artsight, Stockholm, Sweden.

THE POSTCARDS

The first step of the project was the creation of postcards sets by the participating artists.  The artworks are now completed, printed and boxed in their gift boxes.


The printed size of each postcards is 10 x 15 mm and in some cases  11x15 cm.  All artworks are printed on fine art  paper.

Each of the 10 artist involved has its own dedicated box, containing  16 artworks.



To the box containing  the 16 artworks we have of course  added  cards  with a biography and a / narrative  text about the work itself, in english and in  italian.
