Crossing Borders : Travelling Women Artists in the 1800s
131: Ateneum Art Museum, 2025. Hardcover. Crossing Borders is a richly illustrated art historical exhibition catalogue and scholarly anthology that explores the lived and artistic journeys of women painters and visual artists in the 1800s who studied, worked, and forged networks across Europe — particularly in German art hubs such as Dresden, Düsseldorf, Karlsruhe, Munich, Weimar and Berlin.
Rather than merely documenting individual biographies, this volume emphasises the social, educational and cultural networks that these women built, showing how travel, artistic exchange and transnational mobility shaped their careers at a time when opportunities for women in the arts were limited.
Featuring essays by international researchers and visually engaging archival images and artworks, the book highlights how these pioneering artists “crossed borders” both geographically and institutionally, contributing to broader artistic conversations of the 19th century.
