Artist ID:
Edward Hopper (* 22 July 1882 in Nyack, New York; † 15 May 1967 in New York City, New York) was an American Realist painter and printmaker. While he is best known for his oil paintings, he was equally proficient in etching as a watercolorist and graphic artist. His career benefited significantly from his marriage to fellow artist Josephine Nivison, who contributed much to his work both as a life model and as a creative partner. Hopper was a minor-key artist who created muted drama from everyday subjects layered with poetic meaning, often inviting unintended narrative interpretation. He was praised for the "utter truth" in the America he portrayed.

Our Mission and Actions
At THE ART HUB, our mission is initially focused on addressing a profound imbalance within the art world, specifically catering to women artists. In the current landscape, a mere 5% to 15% of artworks traded at auctions are created by women, starkly contrasted by the overwhelming 85% to 95% of works by male artists. This disparity is not only confined to auctions but is also prevalent in exhibitions, where male-created art significantly overshadows that of their female counterparts.
By concentrating our efforts on female artists, THE ART HUB aims to counteract this imbalance and champion women within the art community. This initiative is designed to amplify the visibility of women artists, making their creations more accessible to a wider audience, and ultimately striving for a more balanced representation of genders within art auctions and exhibitions. By prioritizing women in art, our platform boldly advocates for equality and diversity within the art sector, signaling a commitment to reshaping and enriching the cultural landscape.
