Judy Chicagová Knihy

The official publication celebrating Judy Chicago’s feminist art masterpiece, The Dinner Party installation at the Brooklyn Museum, and an introduction to outstanding women in history. Judy Chicago’s The Dinner Party is a defining work of feminist and contemporary art that brought women’s history to light on the national stage when it was completed in 1979. Published to coincide with Chicago’s 75th birthday and a nationwide series of events and exhibitions, the book features newly commissioned photography and two new essays by Chicago, along with essays by art historian Frances Borzello and historian Jane Gerhard, and a foreword from museum director Arnold Lehman. The Dinner Party, a monumental triangular table, and the Heritage Floor on which the table rests, represents 1,038 women in history—39 by unique large ceramic plates and runners with another 999 names inscribed on the floor’s ceramic tiles. It has been seen by more than a million visitors during its international exhibition tour, and has been a principal destination at the Brooklyn Museum since its permanent housing in 2007. A perfect companion to a revolutionary artwork, the book is a must-have for both long-standing fans of Judy Chicago’s oeuvre and young artists and women looking for reflections of themselves in the history of Western Civilization.

Forty pages of full-color artwork, black-and-white photographs, and four gatefold spreads mark an account of the creation of Judy Chicago's powerful evocation of the horror of the Holocaust in a work of art called Holocaust Project.

Mythos Frida Kahlo – Ihre Kunst, Ihr Leiden, Ihre Liebe Frida Kahlo (1907-1954) war als Frau und Künstlerin ihrer Zeit weit voraus. Die überzeugte Marxistin entwickelte autodidaktisch einen einzigartigen Malstil: Von ihren 143 Bildern sind 55 Selbstbildnisse, in denen sich volkstümliche Anleihen ebenso finden wie Elemente des Surrealismus und der Neuen Sachlichkeit. Mutig und offen setzte sie sich darin mit Politik, Sexualität und körperlichem wie seelischem Leid auseinander. Judy Chicago und Frances Borzello fokussieren in diesem Band auf die Bedeutung Kahlos für die Frauen in der Kunst und laden zu einer differenziert-dynamischen Betrachtung ihres Werkes ein.

In this provocative and resonant autobiography, world-renowned artist and feminist icon Judy Chicago reflects on her extraordinary life and career.

"A collection of quotes from pioneering feminist artist Judy Chicago"--

A new work from Judy Chicago, fifty years in the making: Judy Chicago: Revelations is the work she thought would never see the light of day. Her captivating narrative combatting the erasure of women from history unites seamlessly with illustrations first made in the 1970s and new work in a striking, contemporary design. Revelations is the work that Judy Chicago believed would never be published: a radical retelling of human history in the form of an illuminated manuscript, recovering stories of women that society sought to erase. Begun alongside her iconic installation The Dinner Party in the mid-1970s, and drawing on her intensive research into goddess worship and women's history, Revelations is foundational to Chicago's decades-long practice. It is at once a vibrant narrative and a work of art, fifty years in the making. Publication coincides with an exhibition at the Serpentine, London, from 22 May to 1 September, Judy Chicago's first solo presentation in a major London institution.
