Julie Lawson among Barbara Steveni’s friends at Modern Art Oxford
Julie Lawson was one of nine women included by artist-activist Barbara Steveni in her project Conversations Between Ourselves, a series of interviews in which Steveni highlighted the often unacknowledged work of women supporting and administrating the Artist Placement Group and later O+I. The project forms part of the retrospective Barbara Steveni: I Find Myself at Modern Art Oxford (until 8 June 2025).
England & Co director Jane England reflects on Julie Lawson’s remarkable life and her role at the ICA for the Modern Art Oxford blog.
