The 35th Edition of Salon Zürcher, a satellite fair of The Armory Show, invites a distinguished group of 11 women artists to show their work in the Zürcher Gallery space on Bleecker Street in Manhattan. Femmes d’esprit was an 18th-century French term that referred to independently-minded female painters, writers, and intellectuals, routinely under-recognized by their male contemporaries and publics. As a continuation of the project 11 Women of Spirit, which had 9 editions from 2020-2024, 100 Women of Spirit + involves the presence of the 11 participating artists. Salon Zürcher offers collectors an intimate alternative to the large-scale, superstore style art fairs. Here, visitors have the rare chance to speak directly with the artists. To celebrate the previous 9 editions of 11 Women of Spirit, Zürcher Gallery held the exhibition 100 Women of Spirit (June 25 – July 18, 2024) and published a book featuring each artist who has participate in the project until now. Between our two locations, Zürcher New York / Paris has hosted 30 fairs. Salon Zürcher is regularly featured in the press as a must-see Armory Show and Frieze satellite fair. Zürcher Gallery is located in the East Village, within walking distance of the New Museum, the Lower East Side, and TriBeCa gallery districts.

This is Part 5 of The 100 Women of Spirit +, a continuation of 11 Women of Spirit, which originally launched during the Armory Show 2020.
