Petzal was born in London, the daughter of German Jewish refugees.[1]

Petzal’s recent work concerns her family’s displacement from Germany under the Nazi regime and the broader themes of dissent, displacement and destruction in the twentieth century and beyond.[2]

Career

In the 1980s, Petzal worked as a journalist and arts critic for Time Out and Art Monthly.[3][4][5][6][7]

In 1994, she and Belinda Harding developed a plan to establish a Museum of Women's Art (MWA) in London. The plan was not implemented, though an inaugural exhibition, Reclaiming the Madonna, was held at the Economist Building that year.[8]

From 2000 to 2007, she was an interviewer for the British Library and Tate Gallery Archive’s Artists’ Lives oral history project and was considered a catalyst for the 'Art Professionals' portion, recording life story interviews with curators, critics, dealers and gallery owners.[9]
