  "account": "Fifty-eight years after a pioneering Jeddah schoolhouse show made history, the works of two female artists have found a place at Frieze Masters in London. In 1968, Mounirah Mosly and Abdulrahman Alsulaiman hung their paintings at Dar Al-Tarbia Al-Hadetha, one of the first exhibitions women had ever held in Saudi Arabia. Mosly, who spent the following decades designing Aramco publications, running children's art competitions, and incorporating elements of war and Palestine into her collages, passed away in 2019. This week, her creations are on display at Frieze Masters, Frieze London's fair for art made before 2000, where her work is featured in the Feminist Legacies section. Jeddah’s Athr Gallery is debuting with Mosly and Alsulaiman, marking their significance in the art world.",
