Happy Monday to everyone!
Chantal Anderson photographs Judy Chicago for The Wall Street Journal.
Judy Chicago is an American feminist artist, art educator, and writer known for her large collaborative art installation pieces about birth and creation images, which examine the role of women in history and culture.
In this article The WSJ asks her what she can’t live without. The artist and activist on her most cherished items, including a plaque to her cats (she’s had 17) or a reminder of the auto-body class where she learned “what it meant to be an artist”. You can read the article here .
Over the past several months, the artist Judy Chicago has been everywhere, with a flurry of exhibits, including the first major U.K. survey of her work, a collaboration with Dior for its spring 2020 haute couture show, which she called “the greatest creative opportunity of my life”.
With the sudden focus on her art across a variety of media, the 80-year-old trailblazer for feminist artists says she’s glad to no longer be principally defined by The Dinner Party, her installation artwork of 39 place settings affixed to a triangular dinner table—each setting representing a different woman from history, religion or mythology. She’s now preparing for her next retrospective, set for June 2021. ⠀
