This rich volume of art and essays redresses MOMA’s past gender stumbles, such as opening its 1984 expansion with only 14 women among 160-plus artists on exhibit. Feminism pervades the essayists’ takes on modern art, museums and cultural history.
When I get an art book out of the library and it's bigger and heavier than a case of wine and I haul it all the way home, and my man asks if I have been running because I am breathing that hard, it is a GREAT disappointment to find that the book is entirely filled with huge complicated words written in a very tiny script and NOT filled with ART.
Several decades of women artists. Definitely worth looking at though I'll admit I didn't read every word, but I read the profiles that interested me. A hefty coffee table type book. The text is super small and heavy reading- not for light reading, but an easy book to flip through if you're not interested in the in depth profiles.
Read bits and pieces of this at Powell's this weekend and I wanted to buy (4) copies. I was born to have disposable income. sniff.
