(In)Visible women: Helen Lenoir (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Tate Britain’s current exhibition on the career of James McNeill Whistler is a brilliant show, firmly focused on his work, extraneous detail kept to a minimum. However, one of the consequences is that, while we see Anton Lesser declaiming from Whistler’s famous ‘Ten O’Clock Lecture’, Helen Lenoir, the woman who made it happen is absent. She doesn’t even get a mention in the accompanying exhibition book. <a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!XU
