Abstract

This article proposes to rescue, vindicate and analyse the early works of the artist Valie Export (Linz, 1940) carried out during the 1960s and 1970s. In addition to their unquestionable artistic quality and political significance, the importance of these first Export performances are based on the intelligence and originality with which the creator was able to integrate the ideological principles of the feminist struggle into the artistic field. It will be precisely at this time, when art produced by women springs forth forcefully to denounce with courage the excesses of an openly macho society. Within this collective of artists, the work of Export maintains an outstanding personality, revealing itself as one of the most intelligent and influential poetics of its time.
