She stresses that being a female
gallerist means providing support and guidance to your artists, allowing them to grow, rather than

A self - proclaimed dropout of the art world, Lozano rejected the commerciality of the art scene by committing an
act of defiance, in four parts: General Strike Piece, a performance that began in February 1969
as a protest to the banality of the existing artistic atmosphere; Decide to Boycott Women, a twenty - seven year hiatus from contact with her female supporters, including artists,
gallerists, and critics, begun in August 1971; Dialogue Piece, an invitation to dialogue that blurred the roles between artist
as sender and viewer
as receiver.
