About the work of...Esther Ferrer

Activity

Great artists, plain and simple. February 2025

General public

8 February 2025

On this occasion, and on the occasion of the closure of the temporary exhibition, we will focus on Esther Ferrer, a radical and independent artist. After a long career of more than forty years developing systematic, rigorous and methodical work, all her work is reduced to just one: Esther Ferrer. She is the work, her body, her self-portraits, her voice, her ideas, her words.

Born in San Sebastián in 1937, she holds a degree in Social Sciences and Journalism and studied Art in Paris, the city where she has lived and worked since 1973. In her native city, she created, together with other artists, a workshop of free expression. She is also the driving force behind the establishment of an experimental school in Elorrio. Likewise, her teaching activity has led her to teach classes at the Fine Arts schools in Canada, France, Italy and Spain, among others.

In collaboration with: Consorci de Museus de Generalitat Valenciana.

Workshop visit with vermouth around the work of the artists in the collections. Guided tour by Explicarte

Traditionally, women have been considered second-class citizens in the world of culture. This position was based on a statistic supported by a very limited number of women who had excelled in the field of literature, thought and the plastic arts. This idea crumbles in the face of a simple consideration: the reduced opportunities they had to develop their personal talents.
