The Great Women Artists Gift Guide 2024
A round-up of art-inspired gifts for this festive season.
Dear Readers, In case you need some gift-buying inspiration this festive season, I’ve put together The Great Women Artists Gift Guide: from books to prints, homeware to ideas for kids.
For those in London, this Wednesday 27 November, 6–8pm, I will be signing copies of my book at Hatchards Piccadilly for the annual Hatchards Christmas Evening! All welcome; no booking required.
Catch me on Floor 3 with Ekow Eshun (The Strangers; In the Black Fantastic) and Charlie Porter (What Artists Wear; Bloomsbury and the Philosophy of Fashion), plus more legendary authors spread out across the iconic London bookstore.
