| Synopsis: |
A monograph on one of the most influential women artists of the 20th century. Judy Chicago's installations, such as "The Dinner Party", the "Birth Project" and the "Holocaust Project" have transformed perceptions of women's art and collaborative ventures, while her employment of an enormous variety of techniques, from drawing and printmaking to needlework and pyrotechnics, has cemented her reputation as a true innovator. This is an overview of Judy Chicago's entire career as an artist, as well as the vicissitudes and triumphs of her own life. Comprehensively illustrated, including four double gatefolds, and written by art writer and critic, Edward Lucie-Smith, the volume pays tribute to one of the most astonishing and influential careers of the 20th century. |
