The exhibition features oil paintings, a plaster cast sculpture, sketches, drawings and newly-painted artworks that recreate three of her original paintings which were lost in a 1991 fire.
Ruth Stanway, arts and culture service manager at City of Wolverhampton Council, said it showed how Wolverhampton had led the way when it came to representation in the arts.
Ms Stanway said: “At a time when women were not considered serious artists, Evelyn fought convention and discrimination to ensure she could exhibit her works.
“The fact that it was Wolverhampton Art Gallery who worked with Evelyn to realise this ground-breaking show is something we are extremely proud of.”
Painted Dreams: The Art of Evelyn De Morgan will be held at Wolverhampton Art Gallery from 19 October to 9 March next year.
