I Love Women in Art is a seminal anthology curated by the artists Janine Mackenroth and Bianca Kennedy, presenting over 100 women artists connected to Germany. After more than two years of dedicated research, this volume gathers contributions from 100 prominent figures in the German art world – including curators, gallery owners, collectors, and journalists from across all federal states. Each contributor introduces a female artist’s work alongside her personal narrative, creating a rich tapestry spanning from the Middle Ages to the present day.

Published to coincide with the 100th anniversary of women’s admission to all German art academies, the book spotlights the continuing underrepresentation of female artists and cultural professionals in the art industry. Its scope ranges widely across genres and periods, acting not only as a guide to exceptional women artists in Germany but also as a cultural statement advocating for equality and recognition.

The volume’s distinctive hardcover, featuring silver foil embossing, underscores the book’s dual nature as both a scholarly resource and an art object in its own right. A few copies of this special edition are still available, making it both a collector’s item and an enduring contribution to the discourse on gender and representation in art.
