The Updated and Expanded edition of The Art of Feminism charts the
birth of the feminist aesthetic and its development over two
centuries that have seen profound and fast-paced change in women's
lives across the globe. Including over 350 remarkable artworks,
ranging from political posters and graphics to stunning and
provocative pieces of painting, sculpture, textiles, craft,
performance, digital and installation art, the book begins with
poster images produced by the Suffrage Atelier in the nineteenth
century, moving on to developments of both World Wars before
arriving at the `birth' of feminist art in the 1960s. More recent
artworks describe the development of feminism from the fall of the
Berlin Wall to the present day, including examples by Zanele
Muholi, Paula Rego, Lenka Clayton, Sethembile Msezane, Andrea
Bowers, Tanja Ostojic, Aliaa Magda Elmahdy and Zoe Leonard. Other
featured artists include Valie Export, Ketty La Rocca, Ewa Partum,
Carolee Schneemann, Sanja Ivekovic, Senga Nengudi, Eva Hesse, Lynda
Benglis, Suzy Lake, Barbara Kruger, Sophie Calle, Nancy Spero,
Marina Abramovic, Mary Kelly, Judy Chicago, Faith Ringgold and
Sonia Boyce. UPDATED AND INCLUSIVE: This edition of the book
features an even more diverse array of artists and artworks than
the original, from the beautiful figurative paintings of
Hungarian-Indian artist Amrita Sher-Gil to the thoroughly
researched and extravagantly costumed self-portraits of American
photographer Ayana Jackson. Edited by Helena Reckitt, with texts by
Lucinda Gosling, Hilary Robinson and Amy Tobin, The Art of Feminism
also includes a preface by Maria Balshaw, Director, Tate, and a
foreword by Xabier Arakistain, former director of del Centro
Cultural Montehermoso Kulturunea, Spain.
